Iranvisions' Currency
|
The currency of Iran is the Iranian Rial (IRR).
From early 80s to 2001, Iran had a multi-exchange-rate system; one of these rates, the official floating exchange rate, by which most essential goods were imported, averaged 1,750 rials per US dollar; in March 2002, the multi-exchange-rate system was converged into one rate at about 7,900 rials per US dollar.
The English-language Tehran Times on Monday February 1, 1999 urged the
government to scrap the different rates in favour of a unified
exchange rate.
"A single rate will help wipe out the black market and cure the
nation's ailing economy as well."
The Unofficial - Street Exchange Rate used among small businesses and private transactions was much higher than official multi-exchange-rate prior to 2002. Since going to a single exchange rate the official and "Street-rate" have come much closer. The rates listed below are based on the official exchange rate posted by the Iran Central Bank. We compare the official and "Street-rates" to ensure rates listed below are the most accurate indicative of the true IRR-USD exchange rate.
US Dollar (USD) is the most widely used foreign currency and the new $100 bills are preferred for street transactions and get the best rate.
Exchange control authority is vested in Bank Markazi Jomhouri Islami Iran (Central bank of Islamic Republic of Iran). All foreign exchange
transactions must take place through the banking system.
