Converting from US Dollar (USD) to Iran Rial (IRR)

What is US Dollar (USD)

A currency is considered a "reserve" if it is held in significant amounts by governments and institutions as part of their foreign exchange reserves.

The USD is further subdivided into 100 smaller units called cents. The symbol for the US Dollar is ＄ and it is often denoted with the code USD when discussing currency exchange rates or in international transactions.

What is Iran Rial (IRR)

The Iran Rial, symbolized as ر.ت and abbreviated as IRR, is the official currency of Iran. The Rial is subdivided into 100 dinars, although the dinar is rarely used in everyday transactions.
