Recently, K. Watanabe Showed that the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity of a toric ring is a rational number. In this paper we give an explicit formula to compute the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity of two-dimensional toric rings. This formula also shows that the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity of a two-dimensional non-regular toric ring is at least 3/2.
