yota691 Posted May 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 Wednesday, May 11, 2022 Currency of Iran Iranian Currency The Iranian Rial is the currency of Iran. The ISO 4217 code is IRR, and the unicode "﷼" is ﷼. Though "Toman" is no longer an official unit of Iranian currency, but Iranians commonly express amounts of money and prices of goods in Tomans (1 Toman = 10 Rials). Despite this usage, amounts of money and prices of goods are virtually always written in Rials. The Rial was first introduced in 1798 as a coin worth 1,250 dinars or one eighth of a Toman. In 1825, the Rial ceased to be issued, with the Qiran of 1,000 dinars, one tenth of a Toman, being issued as part of a decimal system. The Rial replaced the Qiran at in 1932 at a rate of 1 Rial = 1 Qiran and 10 Rials = 1 Toman, the Rial was also divided into one hundred (new) dinars. Prior to decimalisation in 1932, these coins and currencies were used, and some of these terms still have wide usage in Iranian languages and proverbs.

yota691 Posted May 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 After its implementation in Iran, is it possible to cancel the dollar exchange rate in Iraq 1,907 Policy 2022/05/11 20:16 Baghdad today - Special , the financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, commented today, Wednesday, about the possibility of canceling the dollar exchange rate in Iraq after implementing this step in Iran. Saleh said in a statement to (Baghdad Today), that "the step taken by Iran means its official exit from the dollar area, whether in settling its foreign transactions with the world or in building its foreign reserves, and accordingly, it will deal with all existing international currencies and will allow the circulation of reserve foreign currencies in various forms, except for the United States dollar. He added, "Perhaps the exchange rate of the Iranian currency will be based in the future on the currency basket system, excluding the dollar, which means Iran will leave the International Monetary Fund system entirely, in addition to the embargo imposed by the United States on Iran since 2011, which stopped any Iran's dealings with the world in the currency of the United States of America." Saleh added, "Iraq is completely different from Iran, as it is located within the dollar area, and its oil payments and foreign payments are closely linked to the US dollar and to the policy of a fixed exchange rate between the dinar and the dollar only." He pointed out that "the exchange rate policy is flexible, as the dinar is linked with other reserve currencies, such as the euro, the Japanese yen, the pound sterling, and others." 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
