History reference:
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:
Currency abbreviation or currency symbol for the Argentine nuevo peso (ARS), the currency for Argentina. The Argentine song Nuevo was first seen in 1992 when it replaced the australium in the convers...ion of 1 peso to 10,000 australia. Other names for the currency include peso convertible and nuevo peso convertible. The Argentine Nuevo Peso was pegged to the US dollar from 1 peso to one dollar form from 1992 to 2001. In 2002, the peso floated and devalued by about 75%, helping to improve export competitiveness. The export boom led to a massive influx of US dollars into the Argentine economy, which led to the stabilization of the national currency. Some time later, the Central Bank announced support for a strategy to keep the exchange rate between 2.90 and 3.10 pesos to the US dollar in order to maintain export competitiveness. When necessary, the Central Bank prints pesos and buys dollars on the free market (sometimes in large quantities, in the order of 10 to 100 million US dollars a day) to protect the peso from inflation, 27,000 million US dollars have accumulated in the vaults of the Central Bank, despite spending $9,810 million in payment to the IMF in January 2006.
