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 Macedonian dinar (denar) has been the national currency and money of the Republic of North Macedonia since 1992 after the collapse of Yugoslavia. A year later, in 1993, a denomination was carried... out in the ratio of 1 new denar to 100 old ones. The name dinar comes from the name of the ancient Roman monetary unit, the denarius. On September 8, 1991, it declared independence and seceded from Yugoslavia. The Macedonian denar as a national currency was introduced on April 26, 1992, first in the form of temporary coupons, and a year later in the form of the first full-fledged issue of coins and banknotes of dinars. The coupons indicated only the denomination without the name of the monetary unit, since the law on the Macedonian currency had not yet been adopted. The coupons were printed on low-quality, low-security paper purchased in Slovenia. The circulation was printed by the printing house "October 11" (Prilep). The design of coupons was developed by an employee of the Prilep printing house within a week.
