Thank you Drew!! I liked you video! Also I'm not sure how did you do business in Iran, but most of the people do not carry or use cash and pay with debit cards. Taxis, underground trains, BRT buses etc all use cards. And all are domestic Iranian system. As you said no major credit cards work in Iran. You could also exchange your cash dollar with prepaid cash cards in Iran as well like gift cards. Fun fact is ALL the Iranian cash cards work with ALL the ATMs and there is no transaction fees, withdrawal fees or transfer fees. None of the banks in Iran also charge any maintenance fee no matter the amount of your balance or account activity. Banks pay between 7-10% interest on checking accounts and more on savings accounts. On the other hand there is no credit system and checks mostly work as timely payments when you want to pay late for something. They just write the future date on the check and hand it over. Iran is full of surprises if you go there! I promise you. And actually the good ones! ;-)
Basically yes😂 paychecks are basically million toman per month and stuff like that but you would hear 1 million toman and say MILLION thats alot but for us 1 million toman is a gd sum of money but it isnt like considered alot of money
The word algebra comes from the Arabic الجبر (al-jabr lit. "the reunion of broken parts") from the title of the book Ilm al-jabr wa'l-muḳābala by the Persian mathematician and astronomer al-Khwarizmi.
*You take out a wad of cash for them to count?! Be careful they don’t rip you off!* Edit: I would be cautious in any market in any country, not any particular one.
Brucey I don’t want to be biased, but Iran is a very religious country. And in Islam it’s forbidden to steal or rip someone off, and many Muslims take that very seriously. So his chances of getting ripped off are very very slim. But still possible.
ZELOR GAMING I'm a muslim living in a muslim country I agree about the rules of Islam but muslims are not all good people, some of them will fuck you up if you're a tourist, for example ripping you off if you do like he did by taking out money and waiting for him to take the right money, or they make the price higher if you're a tourist which is pretty sad
ZELOR GAMING Lol, Iran isn’t a religious country. The government is. There’s a difference. I was in Iran a few years ago and the majority of people I met had very negative feelings towards religion and what it had done to their country.
Actually the last part is totally wrong. Iranians don't rely that much on cash. Foreigners do because foreign credit cards are not accepted by local businesses. The reason for that is Iran's political isolation and America's long-term policy of keeping Iran a pariah state. Hence companies such as Visa or Mastercard have no agreements in place with Iranian banks. Having said that, Iranians themselves heavily rely on debit cards and use them everywhere to pay for everything.
First of all thanks for the video Drew. I want to post an update to the video : In May 2020 Iranian parlement decided to finally change the currency to Tuman (So one zero here) and the new Tuman equals 10.000 current Iranian Rials (3 zeros here). So in the video you said the shopkeeper asked for 2 Tumans and he actually meant 20.000 Rials. The new currency will make that 2 Tumans official. I hope it helps us not to have the most confusing currency ever 👌🏻👌🏻
When I was in Iran, I was approached by a British gentleman whose father had passed on the plane and the plane had made an emergency landing in Iran for that very reason. He was visibly distraught and nervous about that whole situation and Iran's confusing currency system had become a double whammy. I'm glad I resolved at least a part of his problem by explaining how our currency works.
Each dollar equals 90,000 rials right now and if you got 25 million rials for 800 dollars that means you sold your dollars for 31,250 rials which is even less than 1/3 of the real exchange rate. Watch out for who you are dealing with.
khashayar shahi First I thought this video has been recorded in the past but when I saw the date on that receipt 1:25 I've noticed it's about a month ago. He has been definitely scammed!
Napoleon Blownapart yes like because you’re exchanging foreign money they might’ve taxed you for their services to exchange and then other government tax or something
@@psion1C The funny thing is that you all are correct. 5 Toman can refer to 5000 rial, so that means 50 Toman is 50,000 Toman which is 500,000 Rial. Also to confuse you a lil more, 5 Toman can be 5,000,000 Toman too. As Abulayi mentioned, Toman is kinda like a substitute for K (10 power of 3) yet on a bigger scale, its substitute for M too, the one with the million (10 power of 6). But it's not that confusing coz u know, when ur friend tells ya "i bought the car for 50 Toman" you know he didnt buy it for 50,000 Toman which is like about $2 at the moment ...lol. its 50 million Toman. hey, you know what? the more i explain the more i feel like you need an Iranian with you at all time. it will be easier to pay for the stuff, no one will rip you off aaaaaaaaaaaannnnnd, it will be more fun... lolol
The Unseen Abnormal God Of Transcendence yeah it’s like never ending we just removed the zeros but we still buy everything from the other nations we can’t produce by orselves even agriculture I heard that we started to buy even our food that’s incredible
Rystem Halil 2 million lira for bread?? I was getting it for 700,000 and even 500,000 for a certain time! It's 70 kuruş (0.7 TL) last time I was there but due to the ailing currency it might be higher now (last time I was there was during the coup d'etat)
@@sam-gv9qw So the official currency is dirham. but the currency we use when in public is rial which is worth 5 cents. so when you want to buy something in morocco and they say give me 40 they mean 2 dirhams. it gets more complicated when talking about big sums of money. when you ask someone how much he bought a car for and he says 20 million, he doesnt mean 20 million, dirhams, or rials, he means franks, which is equal to one cent. So that car is worth 200000 dirhams not 20 million. its so weird.
You certainly haven't come to Morocco then. The official currency is dirham. But in the north, the use Ryal or Franc 1dirham=100franc=2Ryal. In the rest of Morocco, they usually use Ryal, but they have a different Ryal than the north. 1dirham=100franc=2Northern Ryal=20Southern Ryal. Now. Is there a currency system more confusing than this?
Yes .... currency will be always confusing ...but drew u are the true vloger u will show the real side of the nation's....and your explanation is quite simple easy....
@@shukran3907 people like you are preventing iran from getting any better... making stupid excuses for stupid people. unfortunately apparently Iran is full of people like you that's why I don't feel sorry about Iran.
I just came back from Iran and got an exchange rate of $1 = 160k rials. We were so confused because google said the rate was ~50k and we were getting x100 in our favor! We basically spent our first 3 days in Tehran having absolutely no idea how much money we had. For the record we took a 1h taxi ride + 2h wait + 1h back for 1.2 million. This country is so cheap and beautiful and the people are the best! Thanks Drew for making these videos, it really drove me to finally visit this country.

Infaltion in iran goes gas gas gas after protests and corona and also inflation is very bad in Iran as prices increases a lot EVERY SECOND one day u wake and see the prices are 3x more than before

This video is very interesting and I enjoy these kind of videos, keep up the good work Drew! You have such amazing content about traveling and things of that nature and you're an inspiration to me.
Here in Italy for 3 years (1999/2001)before officially adopting Euro in 2002,we experienced a similar situation:the official currency was the Italian Lira,but at the same time Euro began to be used. €1=2000 Italian Liras. Many of the things we bought during those years had 2 prices written,one in Euro and the other one in Liras. I still have some books who have on the cover those 2 prices (eg.€5=10000£)!!!
In fact, the 500,000 Rial bill you showed is not a bank note at all. It's a unified travellers' check. The highest denomination Iranian banknote is 100,000 Rial or 10,000 Toman or as they say it in Iran, just 10 Toman. Edit: _(just for Yousef Noori)_ traveller's cheque 😋👍
By the way, "unified travellers' check", you used both American and British English in the same sentence, make up your mind. "Travellers" is spelled "Travelers" in American English, and "Travellers" in British English. Likewise, you "Check" is spelled "Check" in American English, and "Cheque" in British English. Otherwise, your grammar is perfect. I don't mind if you use either American or British, just not both in the same sentence, please. So it should be either "unified travelers' check" in American English, or "unified travellers' cheque" in British English.
Zimbabwe doesn't have the highest inflation. Hungary had the highest inflation ever recordes with the Hungarian Pengő. The highest banknote was something rediculous like 5 Quintillion!!!
In France after WWII, currency got inflated and in 1960 they changed 100 Old Francs into 1 New Franc (bills had NF on them). But people still thought the old way and often with an unfamiliar price you had to ask "old ones or new ones?" So if a Frenchman used a slang term and said "20.000 balles", he was talking about 200 NF. Then France helped found the E.U. and switched to Euros, which each is worth more than a US dollar currently.
You're Amazing!! I'm a girl and a lot of the girls in my school love youre content! We all love the way you tell and explain about things! Love from India!!
Its not a bit confusing, if you know that "k" means thousand. The abbrevation is so popular and simple, that it is even used in video games. " I have 1k coins" There is also the more rarely used "kk", which stands for million. But as far as I know this one is only used in video games. And like already said its rare, because there is already "m" or "mil" for million.
When I worked at tourist destination in CA, travelers from around the world all use to hand my their USD cash or wallets to take what was needed to pay the bill as well. It was charming from my point of view. "All same color 🤷♀, haha. " I took joy and honor in serving them because I know what it's like to be in their shoes. Very considerate video clip, Drew! Merci. 🤘
They remove just one zero to make it Tuman. What's the benefit, atleast the difference should be 1000 rial = 1 Tuman. Then there'll be no need to shorten the currency name too. Don't you think?!
One of my fellow scientist was from iran and she always used to explain me how much she spent back at iran and the amount always made my eyes pop...but this video explains a lot
What does this Video have to do with Saudi or UAE, let alone Visas lol.. first of all it's if there was an entry stamp to Israel on your passport.. Second, Saudi Arabia requires a visa so they will tell you in your country's embassy whether you can go or not... Third, They've become more flexible regarding this issue and will no longer use it if Israel makes peace with Palestine.
La France Israel doesn't administer passport visas anymore because of their poor relations with other countries. It's been that way for a few years, and it's a good thing too bc I have family in Israel/Palestine, Jordan, UAE and other middle eastern countries and it makes traveling a lot easier
Back in 2005 România switched from ROL to RON, and both currencies were in circulation for one year (or two?).... So they basically cut of 4 zeros from the banknotes. One dollar was 40000 ROL and changed to only 4 RON. And the confusion was started, but to make it even more difficult people were using values interchangeably and some shorthand notations as well.
I just went there for 5 days trip and same thing happens with I was too much confused about there currency. I even can't keep 100 USD dollar. Which I had changes to Irani currency. But anyhow I enjoyed alot my fam trip
I think people make systems for money but sometime it get to complex to fully get it, so they try to cover up or find a best way to do it, which is pretty cool but it still doesn’t change the fact on how confusing things can be in the world and that follow for outsider places around the world.
Have u ever been in Cambodia? The system there is very mad. They use 2 currencies at the same time: Cambodian Riel and USDolar. And 1 Dolar is the same as 4000riel. So if u wanna get a beer, which costs 2000 riel, you can pay with 1 dolar and they'll give u 2000riel back. Or if something costs 6000riel, jist pay 1 dolar + 2000 riel. Or something costs 10000 riel, you can pay 2 dolar + 2000 riel or 1 dolar + 6000 riel. Pretty fun actually
In India they have rupees, which are about 70 to the US dollar. But for large numbers they do NOT count by thousands. 100,000 of something is a "lakh", and ten million of something is a "crore". They show these as 1,00,000 and 1,00,00,000 respectively!

"I've handled some *REALLY HIGH INFLATED* currencies....
Like *Vietnamese DONG* "
In fact, the 500,000 Rial bill you showed is not a bank note at all. It's a unified travellers' check. The highest denomination Iranian banknote is 100,000 Rial or 10,000 Toman or as they say it in Iran, just 10 Toman.
Edit: _(just for Yousef Noori)_ traveller's cheque 😋👍
BTW, it's 10 Toman and not 10 Tomans. (Persian language is like that)
So the largest bill is just $2, god.
It is a bank note, if you go to an atm it will give you 50T notes (500,000 IRR)
Stop talking like you know anything
By the way, "unified travellers' check", you used both American and British English in the same sentence, make up your mind. "Travellers" is spelled "Travelers" in American English, and "Travellers" in British English. Likewise, you "Check" is spelled "Check" in American English, and "Cheque" in British English. Otherwise, your grammar is perfect. I don't mind if you use either American or British, just not both in the same sentence, please. So it should be either "unified travelers' check" in American English, or "unified travellers' cheque" in British English.
Yousef Noori Thank you that is helpful.
very informative, thanks
Zimbabwe doesn't have the highest inflation. Hungary had the highest inflation ever recordes with the Hungarian Pengő. The highest banknote was something rediculous like 5 Quintillion!!!
Daniel K So a Quantum currency? As if Hungarians don't already have a reputation for being weirdly brilliant
I myself as a Hungarian didn't even know this. We are weird people.
yeah, that happened after World War II
The highest inflated currency in history is Hungarian pengő,
People were sweeping it on streets like it was just dirt :)

In France after WWII, currency got inflated and in 1960 they changed 100 Old Francs into 1 New Franc (bills had NF on them). But people still thought the old way and often with an unfamiliar price you had to ask "old ones or new ones?" So if a Frenchman used a slang term and said "20.000 balles", he was talking about 200 NF. Then France helped found the E.U. and switched to Euros, which each is worth more than a US dollar currently.
In Germany, the most people still pay with cash. Many don't trust these cards

Luke Work lol me too in england
Indonesia also have similar system, like 5.000 rupiah but people only call it "5K" for short.
Ernest Jay omg..I was in Batam last December AND IT WAS A NIGHTMARE but hey,at least some shops accept Singapore currency too :)
K means thousand
5K means the same as 5.000. I think the more accurate would be like 100.000 and people would just say “100” to make it simple
Ernest Jay Resistors as currency
Its not a bit confusing, if you know that "k" means thousand. The abbrevation is so popular and simple, that it is even used in video games. " I have 1k coins"
There is also the more rarely used "kk", which stands for million. But as far as I know this one is only used in video games. And like already said its rare, because there is already "m" or "mil" for million.
Thank you very much for this great informations 🙏🏽😘
Love iran the most satisfying country

I Visited Iran, Yes, Absolutely Iranian Currency Also Confusion . So Funny 😁😀😀😀
Well we get confused as well in our own country
When I worked at tourist destination in CA, travelers from around the world all use to hand my their USD cash or wallets to take what was needed to pay the bill as well. It was charming from my point of view. "All same color 🤷♀, haha. " I took joy and honor in serving them because I know what it's like to be in their shoes. Very considerate video clip, Drew! Merci. 🤘
The title should be...WORLDS MOST CONFUSING CURRENCY BECAUSE OF U.S SUPREMACY
No, it's confusing for anyone that goes there that isn't familiar with the Iranian currency. You can't blame everything on America
also because of Iran's sold-out leaders.
@Planet Earth The earth in your profile is not flat.
Wait if they don't have ATMs that accept foreign payment how did he exchange his cash?
Great video
They remove just one zero to make it Tuman. What's the benefit, atleast the difference should be 1000 rial = 1 Tuman. Then there'll be no need to shorten the currency name too. Don't you think?!
Prashant Kumar ,is like 100 pennies =$1.00 that simple.
10000 Rial = 1 Tuman

You better not go to Israel before Saudi Arabia or UAE or else they will refuse your visa if they see Israel on the passport.
What does this Video have to do with Saudi or UAE, let alone Visas lol.. first of all it's if there was an entry stamp to Israel on your passport.. Second, Saudi Arabia requires a visa so they will tell you in your country's embassy whether you can go or not... Third, They've become more flexible regarding this issue and will no longer use it if Israel makes peace with Palestine.
La France Israel doesn't administer passport visas anymore because of their poor relations with other countries. It's been that way for a few years, and it's a good thing too bc I have family in Israel/Palestine, Jordan, UAE and other middle eastern countries and it makes traveling a lot easier
NEVER_AGAIN Hopefully, It happens... We also Saudis and Emiratis consider Hamas to be a terrorist organization that is backed by Iran and Qatar..
NEVER_AGAIN we are at war with the Iranian militias in Yemen not Yemen.. I really wish for peace to happen and things progress in the ME:) shalom.
La France
Very good.
Israel is a terrorist state

I've handled some inflated currencies, like the *Vietnamese dong*
Back in 2005 România switched from ROL to RON, and both currencies were in circulation for one year (or two?).... So they basically cut of 4 zeros from the banknotes. One dollar was 40000 ROL and changed to only 4 RON. And the confusion was started, but to make it even more difficult people were using values interchangeably and some shorthand notations as well.
I just went there for 5 days trip and same thing happens with I was too much confused about there currency. I even can't keep 100 USD dollar. Which I had changes to Irani currency. But anyhow I enjoyed alot my fam trip
I love iran
Thank you
job,s update me too
I'm in America and I've had foreigners ask me to help them pick the right amount of cash or the right Bills. Always feels great to help.

I think people make systems for money but sometime it get to complex to fully get it, so they try to cover up or find a best way to do it, which is pretty cool but it still doesn’t change the fact on how confusing things can be in the world and that follow for outsider places around the world.
Why is this in my recommendation now 🤣
In Iran I'll do quick maffs
I literally got an ad of one of your own videos before this
Have u ever been in Cambodia? The system there is very mad. They use 2 currencies at the same time: Cambodian Riel and USDolar. And 1 Dolar is the same as 4000riel. So if u wanna get a beer, which costs 2000 riel, you can pay with 1 dolar and they'll give u 2000riel back. Or if something costs 6000riel, jist pay 1 dolar + 2000 riel. Or something costs 10000 riel, you can pay 2 dolar + 2000 riel or 1 dolar + 6000 riel. Pretty fun actually
Correctly i need to pay tuktuk like $10 cause it was confusing and he can't speak English

In India they have rupees, which are about 70 to the US dollar. But for large numbers they do NOT count by thousands.
100,000 of something is a "lakh", and ten million of something is a "crore". They show these as 1,00,000 and 1,00,00,000 respectively!
Hahahahaha .. this is truth
I was always confused in iran
WWIII notes
Iran is a very beautiful and it has a lot of historical places
The last time I was in Iran, 500000 rials were worth 20€
One hundred trillion dollars though 😂lol
The notes are beautiful 😍
It's bcus of the US
Wtf
the currnency is low because of the us, hard to understand?
aalleexx what did us do, please elaborate.
US sanctions have destroyed the Iranian economy therefore lessening the value of the Iranian currency.
Basic economics.
