The Saudi riyal (riyal) has been the national currency and money of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia since 1928, even before the creation of a single state. Independent minting of coins on the territory o...f Hijaz (the coastal western region of the Arabian Peninsula with the main Islamic centers - Mecca and Medina) began rather late - at the beginning of the 19th century. These were copper mahmoudis and silver rupees, which were minted by the sheriffs of Mecca, nominally dependent on the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. In 1916, with the support of the British and Arab nationalists, the sheriff of Mecca, Hussein ibn Ali al-Hashimi, declared himself king of the Hijaz. He also began minting his own coins in Mecca. In addition to the minting of coins of the Ottoman type (kirsh, para and dinars), under Hussein, all silver rials-thalers were countermarked. They were minted with the word "HIJAZ" in Arabic script.

History reference:
The Icelandic krone is the currency of Iceland. Introduced in 1885. Icelandic ATMs are located in all banks in Iceland, large supermarkets, major hotels and hotels, and on most central streets in Ice...land. In all of them, the rate of the Icelandic currency is the same. Icelandic ATMs work with all types of credit transactions. In 1961, the Central Bank of Iceland was established, which, starting in 1963, began issuing banknotes, gradually replacing the National Banks banknotes in circulation. In 1981, a monetary reform was carried out in the country: old kroons were exchanged for new ones from January 1 to June 30 at a ratio of 100:1. Currently, the Icelandic government states the need to abandon the national currency and switch to the currency of another, economically stronger country. Prior to joining the European Union and the introduction of the euro, options for the Canadian or Australian dollar are being considered.
