Who Issues Iranian Rial in Iran

In Iran's national currency system, the Iranian Rial (IRR) is administered by Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The symbol IRR is used for display, and numeric identifier 364 is the ISO 4217 counterpart to the alphabetic code.

Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran issues or manages the Iranian Rial within Iran's own monetary framework. That makes IRR a national currency rather than a unit administered by a regional monetary union.

Exchange Rate for IRR

On this Iran currency page, the useful benchmark is a dated IRR observation with its currency pair stated explicitly. Actual conversion costs depend on the provider's spread, fees and timing. This makes the quoted pair easy to interpret.

USD=IRR

For currency calculations involving Iran, compare observations for the same currency pair and a similar timestamp. A bank, card network or cash desk may apply its own spread or fee to that benchmark.

Banknotes and Coins

Banknotes

A current authoritative public denomination catalogue could not be verified consistently for Iran's rapidly changing cash system, so DigifyWorld does not present an unverified banknote list as current circulation.

Coins

A current primary coin-by-coin circulation catalogue could not be established from the Central Bank source available for this page. The coin denominations below are therefore shown as documented reference denominations rather than a fully verified current set.
