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.
