Iran uses the Iranian rial, written as IRR. It’s been in use since 1798 in various forms, with the modern rial introduced in the 20th century. The currency features historical figures, cultural sites, and symbols of Iranian heritage. Cash is still the main way to pay, while cards and mobile payments are common in urban areas like Tehran. The rial’s value fluctuates due to economic conditions and sanctions. Foreign currencies, especially U.S. dollars and euros, are often used alongside the rial. The rial represents Iran’s long history and complex economy.
