History:

The Iranian Rial has a long history, with its roots dating back to the ancient Persian Empire. Modern currency under the name "Rial" was first introduced in the 19th century.

Over the years, Iran has undergone several currency changes and redenominations to manage inflation and simplify transactions.

Coins and Banknotes:

The Iranian Rial is subdivided into 100 dinars, although dinar coins are no longer used due to their low value.
