History reference:
The currency of Jordan is the Jordanian dinar. The currency is interesting, just like the country itself, because everything that happens in the country naturally affects the money. The word "dinar" ...from Latin is translated "by ten", "consisting of ten." Its origin is associated with the word "denaria". It was referred to as a large coin in the Roman Empire. Money with the name "dinar" is also found on the pages of the Koran. A currency with this name circulated at one time in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the FLA, in Yugoslavia, in Serbia, in Sudan, and South Yemen. Around 5th century BC Greek silver coins were seen in the country. Before the fall of Rome, Jordan was "captured" by local denarii and tetradrachms of Syria. Jordan is a safe country, so you can safely use bank cards to pay for services. In large cities, cashless payments are ubiquitous, but in villages and regions far from Amman, only cash is accepted. It can be difficult to find an ATM, so we recommend that you always have dinars or dollars with you.

History reference:
The North Korean Won is the official currency of the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea. There are two versions of spelling and pronunciation: "won" - in the feminine, as prescribed by the Spelling... Dictionary of the Russian Language of the Russian Academy of Sciences, edited by V.V. Lopatin, and "won" in the masculine - as the Bank of Russia writes in its daily quotes of the currency bearing the same name as South Korea. This is due to the complexity of translation from Eastern languages. Throughout almost its entire history, the Korean Peninsula has been under the cultural, political and economic influence of a powerful neighbor - China. This influence was also reflected in the monetary system of Korea. Until the end of the 19th century, the main monetary unit was the Korean mun - a cast bronze coin with a square hole.
