Jordanian Dinar to Cuban Peso

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 The currency has been issued since 1950, replacing the outdated Palestinian pound.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.

The Cuban peso (sign $MN, code CUP) is the national currency of Cuba used along with the convertible peso. One peso can be exchanged for 100 small coins – centavos. The currency has first been issued in 1857.

Before that, the country used the Spanish real for payment. In tourism, the country still uses another currency, which is the convertible Cuban peso. However, recently it has become possible to pay with American dollars in shops and hotels. The government is planning to completely remove the convertible currency and only leave CUP.
