[edit] Question of Accuracy

The information on this page does not appear to be accurate. Obviously it is important to post the history of the dinar, but the way the information is listed is misleading in that it sounds current (there are no longer dirhams in the Jordanian monatary system). On top of this, 1 quirsh is equal to 1 fil, and not 1 piastre. The current systems is as follows:

  • 1 fil (also 1 quirsh) = 1000th of a dinar
  • 1 piastre = 10 fils (100th of a dinar)

Coins in circulation:

  • 1 fil (also 1 quirsh) = 1000th of a dinar
  • 2½ piastres = 25 fils
  • 5 piastres = 50 fils
  • 10 piastres = 100 fils
  • 25 piastres (¼ dinar) = 250 fils (also called a rubia, the Arabic word for "quarter")
  • 50 piastres (½ dinar) = 500 fils (also called a nuus, the Arabic word for "half")

Banknotes in circulation:

  • 1 dinar
  • 5 dinars
  • 10 dinars
  • 20 dinars
  • 50 dinars

Unless anyone can prove the above information inaccurate, I will plan on making the changes. - Cybjorg 11:42, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
