Historical Fluctuations of the JOD to GBP Exchange Rate

The overall value of the Jordanian Dinar against the Pound has decreased by -0.78% in the last 3 months. This downward trend is also evident in the last 7 days when the Jordanian Dinar lost ground against the Pound, dropping -1.44%. In terms of market value, a Jordanian Dinar was worth 1.12 Pounds 3 months ago and is now valued at 1.11 Pounds. This drop does not favor consumers or travelers currently visiting United Kingdom (UK), as you will get less Pounds for your Jordanian Dinar. This represents a decline in buying power during your stay. The trend history chart illustrates these recent changes.

The British Pound

The English pound sterling is the official currency of the United Kingdom and many of its provinces and territories. It is more commonly known these days as the British pound with other common names such as Pound Sterling, Sterling, Quid, Cable, and Nicker. Although the UK is currently still a part of the European Union, the UK decided not to adopt the Euro and elected to maintain its own currency, the British pound. The pound is currently the third most largely traded currency in the Foreign Exchange Market, falling only behind the United States Dollar and the Euro. This market which determines foreign exchange rates. One individual British pound can also be divided into 100 pence, noting that pence is plural for a penny. For example, one penny is less than two pence. Currently, the countries that use the pound are the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man, Guernsey, South Sandwich Islands, Jersey, South Georgia, Tristan da Cunha, and the British Antarctic Territory. The symbol for the Great British Pound (ISO: GBP) is '£'. Notes come in denominations of £5, £10, £20 and £50. Coins come in 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, £1 and £2. Each denomination of notes is printed in specific colors and all currencies, both notes, and coins bear an image of the Queen’s head on one side.

Travel Tip

Before vacationing, we recommended you exchange Jordanian Dinars to Pounds, or other currencies, at your local bank or credit union, as you will, in general, get much better exchange rates than you would at airport kiosks, where rate hikes are common and expected. Although conveniently located at your port of entry, currency exchange kiosks will also charge convenience fees per transaction. Another option to save money while vacationing is to pay any charges you incur with a "no-foreign-transaction-fee-credit-card".
