What's the unit for angular momentum?

In Metric:

Linear momentum is mass (kg) times speed (m/s). So linear momentum is measured in kg·m/s.

Angular Momentum is Moment of Inertia (kg&middot;m<sup><small>2</small></sup>) times rotational frequency (1/sec or Hz) times 2π (radians). So angular momentum is measured in kg &middot; m<sup><small>2</small></sup>/s (scalar value before the unit would include the multiplication by 2π).
