Jordanian Dinar to Papua New Guinean Kina

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 The currency has been issued since 1950, replacing the outdated Palestinian pound.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 kina (sign К, code PGK) is the currency of a state in Oceania – Papua New Guinea. The currency is not accepted for payment outside the country. One kina is subdivided into 100 smaller coins called toea.

The currency has become official in 1975. Before that, the country had a foreign currency, which was the Australian dollar. The appearance of the currency was connected to the fact that Papua New Guinea gained independence. At first, the Australian dollar also participated in payment operations, but in 1976, it was completely eliminated.
