6. Jordanian Dinar (1 JOD =1.41 USD)
Jordan is known for its lack of resources, such as water and crude oil. However, that do not make them any less powerful, when it comes to having a dominant currency on the market.
They had other official currency in 1927, because of the Palestine Currency Board orders, the Palestine pound was instated in both Palestine and Trans-Jordan Emirate; well that’s what Wikipedia says.
But you may wonder how the Jordanian Dinar became their official currency, right? It’s simple, when Jordan became independent in 1946, the country wanted to have its own currency and Jordanian Dinar made its way to the official currency.
Have you ever visited Jordan? Did you get the chance to hold their currency?
