Canadian Dollar to Jordanian Dinar

The Canadian dollar (symbol: CA$, code: CAD, number 124) is Canada's monetary unit since 1858. It is subdivided into 100 cents. The Canadian currency is among the most traded on the world currency market.

The CAD exchange rate largely depends on the state of the economy of the neighboring United States and the changing position of the US dollar. Although several generations of dollars have already been produced in the country, old issues are still accepted. All banknotes printed after 1935 remain legal tender.

The Jordanian dinar (sign JD, code JOD) is the official currency of Jordan. Piastres are used as change for the Jordanian dinar. The coins are also known as qirsh.

One JOD has 100 piastres. Formally, the qirsh is divided into fils, but the latter one is not used in circulation. The modern coins are minted out of copper, nickel and brass. The currency has been issued since 1950, replacing the outdated Palestinian pound. The Jordanian dinar is decorated with portraits of the state leaders, who were in charge of the country at different times. Kings are portrayed in traditional national clothing.
