Saudi riyal (SAR)
1 articleSaudi Arabia's currency is the Saudi riyal, recorded under ISO code SAR and managed by the Saudi Central Bank. Riyal banknotes and coins circulate with the halala as the subdivision, providing the country's legal-tender cash system. A fixed link to the US dollar is central to the exchange-rate arrangement, although monetary administration remains Saudi and the currency has its own issuer and denominations. SAR is separate from the Qatari riyal and other regional currencies with similar names.
