History of Jordanian Currency
On 4 August 1965 the first banknotes bearing the name of the Central Bank of Jordan were put into circulation. Prior to this date, currency issue was controlled by two bodies: The Palestine Currency Board from 1927 to 1950, and the Jordan Currency Board from 1950 to 1964. After Jordan had been declared an independent kingdom on 25 May, 1946, the idea of issuing a national currency arose: thus the Provisional Act No. 35 of 1949 covering Jordanian currency was passed. As of the first of July 1950, the Jordanian Dinar became the currency unit and the use of the Palestinian Pound ceased in the Kingdom as from 30 September 1950. The Jordan Currency Board issued notes in the denominations of JD50, 10, 5, 1 and ½. The first four denominations bear on their obverse the Portrait of His Majesty Late King Abdullah while the obverse of the JD½ features Wadi Al-Arab irrigation project. Later, three denominations of the same series (JD10, 5 and 1) bearing the portrait of His Majesty Late King Hussein were put into circulation. The design of the Half Dinar denomination remained unchanged, while the Fifty Dinar note was not issued. The Central Bank of Jordan was established in 1964 and released into circulation its first series of Jordanian notes, and in 1974, the bank issued its second series of Jordanian banknotes. As of 1992, and in order to keep up with the latest developments in the banknote printing technologies, the Bank issued a new family of Jordanian notes (Third Issue Series) which bear the portrait of His Majesty Late King Hussein. The notes were in the denominations of JD20, 10, 5, 1 and ½. The notes of this series were subsequently modified by adding the “The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan” in Arabic on the obverse and in English on the reverse and the Issue was hence known as the Modified Third Issue. On 27 January 2000, the Bank put into circulation a new note in the denomination of JD50, bearing the portrait of his majesty King Abdullah II. In order to cope with the newest technical developments in banknote printing, including the latest security features, the Central Bank of Jordan put into circulation a new series of banknotes (Fourth Issue Series) bearing the portraits of the Royal Hashemite Family. The first notes issued of this series were the JD5 and the JD10 which were released to circulation on 22 December, 2002 with the portrait of His Majesty Late King Abdullah on the obverse of the first one and the portrait of His Majesty Late King Talal on the obverse of the second note. Shortly, particularly on 2 February, 2003, the JD20 and JD50 were issued: the former bears the portrait of His Majesty Late King Hussein while the latter bears the portrait of His Majesty King Abdullah II. On 30 March, 2003, the JD1, which bears the portrait of His Majesty Late Sherif Hussein Bin Ali, was put into circulation.
