Saudi Arabia uses the Saudi riyal, written as SAR. It has been the official currency since 1925. Banknotes feature national leaders, landmarks, and cultural symbols. Cash is widely used, though cards and digital payments are very common in cities like Riyadh and Jeddah. Coins are used for smaller transactions. The riyal’s value is stable and pegged to the U.S. dollar. The Saudi riyal reflects the country’s wealth, economic stability, and modern economy.
