The national currency of Jordan is the Jordanian dinar or JOD, which earned the position as the 4th strongest currency in the world today. The currency became Jordan’s official currency in 1950 after it replaced the Palestinian pound.
1 US dollar is transferrable for around 0.71 Jordanian Dinar, gaining the currency a rightful place in the top 5 most valuable currencies. Jordanian dinar was instated as the legal tender of The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in 1950, 4 years after Jordan became an independent nation.
The currency is also unofficially used by the West Bank. The Jordanian dinar was officially pegged to the IMF SDR, which means that it’s almost fixed at a rate of 1 dinar = 1.41044 dollars. Nevertheless, one Jordan Dinar costs 1.41 US Dollars, which makes it one of 10 the most strongest world currencies.
