Iranian Rial to Indonesian Rupiah

The Iranian rial (sign ﷼, code IRR) is a currency used first in Persia, and currently, after the state name change, in Iran. Dinars are used as change for the Iranian rial. Every IRR equals 100 dinars.

However, due to inflation, dinars are practically not used in cash payment. The currency has been issued twice. First time was in 1798, and in their present form – in 1932. The front side of all notes have a portrait of a religious figure – Imam Khomeini, the leader of the Islamic revolution that took place in 1979, in Iran.

The Indonesian Rupiah (symbol: Rp, code: IDR, number: 360) is the official currency of Indonesia. Informally Indonesians use the word "perak" ("silver" in Indonesian) in referring to rupiah. The rupiah was first introduced in the country in 1945.

However, the modern version of the currency, the so-called new rupiah is being issued since the redenomination in 1965. The exchange was made at the rate of 1000 old rupees per new one. The rupiah formally is divided into 100 sens, but physically coins denominated less than 1 Rp are discontinued. The banknotes depict national heroes, politicians, monuments, sceneries of the country, local people.
