Money in Iran for travellers
The official currency of Iran is the Iranian Rial (IRR), denoted by the symbol ﷼.
Acceptance of cards versus cash varies by city, neighbourhood, and merchant. We don't publish country-by-country payment-method data, so check guidance from your bank, your card network, or your destination's official tourism resources before travelling.
For a transparent benchmark, compare any quoted rate against the FXMap reference rate, which is sourced from the European Central Bank and open APIs. Airport kiosks, banks, and money-changers add a markup or spread on top of the reference rate, which is why their quotes differ.
