The Bahraini Dinar is the official currency of Bahrain. Until 1959, the Indian rupee was in circulation in the country. British sovereigns and the Maria Theresa thaler were also used until it was rep...laced by the rupee. The Persian Gulf rupee depended on the Indian rupee. After the Indian rupee depreciated in 1965, the value of the Persian Gulf rupee also fell. As a result, the government of Bahrain decided to introduce its own currency into circulation. For some time in Abu Dhabi, the Bahraini dinar was used as the main currency, until it was replaced by the UAE dirham in 1973. Today, the Bahraini dinar is pegged to the US dollar.

History reference:
The monetary unit of Morocco is the Moroccan dirham. The history of the national currency of Morocco is as interesting as the historical path of the kingdom itself. Despite the fact that the current ...currency in the country began to be used relatively recently, the history of the monetary system in this country is very old. Until 1921, the Moroccan rial was used in monetary circulation in Morocco. After 1921, the Moroccan rial is replaced by the Moroccan franc at the rate of 1 rial = 5 francs. In 1956, France recognized the independence of Morocco and reunified with Spanish Morocco, as a result of which the Spanish peseta was introduced into the money circulation in the ratio of 10 francs = 1 peseta. In 1960, the Moroccan dirham was introduced, consisting of 100 francs, and in 1974 the franc was replaced by a centime.
