Money in Jordan is called the Jordanian dinar — its ISO 4217 currency code is JOD, and its symbol is د.ا.

When travelling, you may also see it referred to as the Jordan currency or simply money in Jordan. The Jordanian dinar is subdivided into 100 piastres, though small-denomination coins may not always be in everyday circulation.
Is the Jordanian dinar used anywhere else?

Not to be confused with other dinar currencies
Several currencies carry the name “dinar”, but each one is separate, with its own code, value and issuing country. The Jordanian dinar (JOD) is the currency of Jordan.

Practical money tips for Jordan
Card payments are widely accepted in most cities, but it's still worth carrying some Jordanian dinar in cash for smaller vendors, local transport and rural areas. Notify your bank before travelling to avoid transactions being blocked, and compare card fees — many cards charge a foreign transaction fee that a dedicated travel money card avoids.
