3 countries in less then 24 hours means 3 different currencies in less then 24 hours… I cannot tell you how much this messes with your brain, especially when you are in transit. It also doesn’t help when the time zone is changing and you forget to update the time on your mobile phone!
Let me explain…
Jordan Dinars to Aussie Dollar x by 1.5
UAE Dirhams to Aussie Dollar / by 3
Oman Rials to Aussie Dollar x by 3
Oh and let’s not forget that each currency also looks very different – especially the coins. MP and I now have a currency collection drawer.
It’s funny when you are standing in line at Macca’s in Dubai and the menu has most meals at 17 dirhams then you stand in line at Macca’s in Muscat and the menu has most meals at 1.7 or 1.8 rials – I’ll let you work it out!
