The Jordanian dinar (Arabic: دينار أردني‎; code: JOD; unofficially abbreviated as JD) has been the currency of Jordan since 1950.

The Board was based in London and consisted of a president and four members, and began issuing Jordanian dinars in 1949 and was exchangeable for Palestinian pounds at parity.

After Jordanian occupation of the West Bank in April 1950, the dinar replaced the Palestinian pound.

On 1 July 1950, the Jordanian dinar became the kingdom's official currency and legal tender.

In 1967, Jordan lost control of the West Bank, but the Jordanian dinar continued to be used there.

Since 1992, the fils and dirham are no longer used in the Arabic and the English denominations are given in dinar and either qirsh or piastres.

The Central Bank of Jordan is the sole authority to issue Jordanian banknotes since its establishment in 1964.
