The Jordanian Dinar (JOD) is the official currency of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. It was introduced in 1949, replacing the Palestinian pound at a rate of 1 dinar to 1.5 pounds. The currency is subdivided into 10 dirhams, 100 qirsh, or 1,000 fils. The dinar is known for its stability and is pegged to the U.S. dollar, which helps maintain its value in the region. The Jordanian Dinar features various designs, including images of historical figures and landmarks. Banknotes come in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, and 50 dinars, while coins are available in smaller denominations. The Central Bank of Jordan is responsible for issuing and regulating the currency, ensuring its integrity and security.
