Qatari riyal (QAR)
1 articleThe Qatari riyal is Qatar's national currency and is identified by ISO code QAR. Qatar Central Bank issues the banknotes and manages the currency framework, while coins circulate in riyal and dirham denominations. The riyal is maintained through a fixed link to the US dollar, a stable arrangement that does not make QAR a US monetary unit. Its code, issuer and cash structure distinguish it from the Saudi riyal, Omani rial and other similarly named Gulf currencies.
