Qatari riyal : ウィキペディア英語版 | Qatari riyal
The riyal (Arabic: ريال '; ISO 4217 code: ''QAR'') is the currency of the State of Qatar. It is divided into 100 dirham ((アラビア語:درهم)) and is abbreviated as either QR (English) or (Arabic). == History ==
Until 1966, Qatar used the Indian rupee as currency, in the form of ''Gulf rupees''. When India devalued the rupee in 1966, Qatar, along with the other states using the Gulf rupee, chose to introduce its own currency. Before doing so, Qatar briefly adopted the Saudi riyal, then introduced the Qatar and Dubai riyal which was the result of signing the Qatar-Dubai Currency Agreement on 21 March 1966.〔(The Bank Notes of the Qatar and Dubai Currency Board )〕 The Saudi riyal was worth 1.065 rupees, whilst the Qatar and Dubai riyal was equal to the rupee prior to its devaluation. Following Dubai's entrance into the United Arab Emirates, Qatar began issuing the Qatari riyal separate from Dubai on 19 May 1973. The old notes continued to circulate in parallel for 90 days, at which time they were withdrawn.
