Converting from Jordanian Dinar (JOD) to Omani Rial (OMR)

What is Jordanian Dinar (JOD)

The Jordanian Dinar (JOD) is the official currency of Jordan. It was introduced in 1949 to replace the Palestinian pound at a rate of 1 dinar to 2.8 pounds. The currency is subdivided into 1,000 fils. The symbol for the dinar is د.أ and it is commonly represented by "JD" in financial contexts.

The dinar is known for its stability compared to other currencies in the Middle East. It is issued by the Central Bank of Jordan, which monitors inflation and retains a fixed exchange rate system. This means the dinar's value is relatively stable against major currencies, making it a preferred currency for investors and travelers in the region.

In the daily transactions, you will encounter Jordanian Dinars in various denominations: coins of 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 fils, and banknotes of 1, 5, 10, 20, and 50 dinars. The dinar is widely accepted for both domestic and international transactions, providing ease for tourists, expatriates, and locals alike.

It is represented in financial contexts by “OMR.”

The Omani government, through the Central Bank of Oman, manages the currency and ensures its stability, which helps maintain the country's economic strength. The Omani Rial is known for its high value; as of recent years, it often floats above ＄2.60 to ＄2.70 USD, making transactions relatively costly for foreign visitors.
