Bahraini dinar to Japanese Yen

The Bahraini dinar (sign BD, code BHD) is the currency of Bahrain, used in Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates for 8 years from 1966. Today, it is only used in circulation within Bahrain itself. Dinar’s coin is called fils.

One BHD equals 1000 fils. The currency has first been issued in 1966. Before that, Bahrain used the Gulf rupee for payment. The national central bank has undertaken the currency issuance since 2006. The rate of the national currency is connected to the American dollar.

The Japanese yen (international symbol: ¥, code: JPY, number 392) is the national currency of Japan and is in issuance continuously since 1871. The yen is on the list of world reserve currencies and used in the IMF system. Yen derives from the Japanese word “en”, meaning "round" it is also close to the Chinese "yuan".

One yen is subdivided into 100 “sen”. However, coins in denominations of less than one yen became invalid in the middle of the 20th century. Today “sen” can only be used in the format of mathematical calculations. The banknotes depict the intellectual elite of Japan, and not political figures.
