Jordanian Dinar to Indian Rupee

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 The currency has been issued since 1950, replacing the outdated Palestinian pound.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 Indian rupee (international symbol s:₹ , Re, Rs (plural), code: INR, number: 356) is the currency used not only in India, but also in the neighboring Bhutan. 1 rupee is divided into 100 paisa. The name rupee for local currency has been in use since the 16th century.

For a long time there were several types of currency units operating in the country. A single rupee throughout the country was introduced in 1835 at the time when India was a colony of Great Britain.
