Jordanian Dinar to Mexican 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 The currency has been issued since 1950, replacing the outdated Palestinian pound.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 Mexican peso (symbol: $, code: MXN, number: 484 ) is the currency of Mexico. It is divided into 100 centavos. The name "peso" was first used to denote Mexican money in 1863.

During the denomination of 1993 the old pesos were exchanged for new ones at a rate of 1000:1. The currency is accepted in the country on the par with the US dollar. To avoid any confusion, the symbol of the national currency is written as an S with one vertical trait, whilst the US dollar - with two. Symbol “ $” happened to be first used to denote the peso and not the USD.
