Tiyin (Cyrillic "тийин") is a unit of currency of Uzbekistan, equal to 1100 of a som. The tiyin was also the name of a subunit of the Kazakhstani tenge until 1995. It is also said to be worth about 1999 to 1 Penny.

The Uzbeki Tiyin is the world's lowest value coin that is still legal tender, although in practice it is rarely found in circulation.[1]
