Forbes magazine stated that the dinar is the fourth strongest currency in the world, and is equal to $1.41, while the dollar is equal to JD0.71.
“Jordan is largely land-locked, bordering Egypt, Syria, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia. Jordan is less dependent on oil and gas exports than its neighbors and has struggled with sluggish economic growth and rising debt. The Jordanian dinar entered circulation in 1950 and is pegged to the US dollar,”
Jordan came behind the Kuwaiti dinar, Bahraini dinar, and Omani rial.

The ranking is based on the relative value of each currency against the US dollar, which is the most traded currency globally.
