Jordan Currency
The currency of Jordan is the Jordanian Dinar - JOD or JD.
The Jordan Dinar is fixed against the United States Dollars since 1991 and the ex-change rate still as follows :
1 USD $ = 0.708 J.D
1 J.D = $ 1.41 USD
It is also called "leerah" in the spoken language, you can hear it every day at the market.
1 dinar is divided into 100 qirsh (also called piasters) or 1000 fils.
Although the fils no longer exist as physical coin, you still see price tags in shops like:
0 750 meaning JD 0.75 or 75 piasters.
The spoken language also uses "hundred fils" for the 10 piaster coin, for example.
