Saudi riyal
The Saudi riyal (Arabic: ريال '; ISO 4217 code: ''SAR'') is the currency of Saudi Arabia. It is abbreviated as ر.س or SR ''(Saudi Riyal)''. It is subdivided into 100 Halalas ((アラビア語:هللة) '). The Saudi ''Qirsh'' is 5 Halalas.
==History==
The riyal has been the currency of Saudi Arabia since the country came into being and was the currency of Hejaz before Saudi Arabia was created. one of the primary currencies in the Mediterranean region during the Ottoman era. The Hejaz riyal was based on (though not equivalent to) the Ottoman 20 kuruş coin and was consequently divided into 20 ''Qirsh''. However, although the Hejaz riyal was the same weight as the Ottoman 20 kuruş, it was minted in .917 fineness, compared to .830 fineness for the Ottoman coin. Thus, because the first Saudi riyal had the same specifications as the Hejaz riyal and circulated alongside Ottoman coins, it came to be worth 22 Ottoman kuruş and was consequently subdivided into 22 ghirsh when coins denominated in Qirsh were issued from 1925. This remained the system of currency even though the riyal was subsequently debased to a coin equivalent in silver content to the Indian rupee in 1935.
In 1960, the system was changed to 20 Qirsh = 1 riyal and this was followed in 1963 by the introduction of the ''halala'', worth one hundredth of a riyal. Some Saudi coins still bear denominations in Qirsh but this denomination is no longer commonly used.
