Ammon News - The first Jordanian dinar was issued in 1949, and the face of the first dinar adorned with a picture of King Abdullah I, while its back bears a view of the ancient city of Jerash.

The idea of issuing a Jordanian currency emerged for the first time after independence in 1946, and at that time the Palestinian pound issued by the British Mandate authorities in Palestine was the circulated currency, so the Jordanian Monetary Board issued the first issue in 1949, followed by the second issue after King Hussein attended the throne in 1955.

Four issues of banknotes were issued after the establishment of the Central Bank of Jordan in 1964, the last of which was issued in 2002, and is in circulation today.
