Rial is the Iranian currency, but in daily life and for simple purchases,
people use another currency named Toman. One Toman equals 10 Rials. In malls,
grocery stores and other shops the prices on the goods are written in Rials but
if you ask the seller, they will tell you the price in Tomans ( a tenth of the
number shown on the price tag) that may cause confusion especially for the
tourists. “Is this the currency with the extra zero or not?!” is a question
usually asked by the tourists in Iran.
Recently, in December 2016, Iran's government has decided to omit the extra
zero and change Iranian currency to Toman, which is more popular among the
people. This plan is now under study by the economists and it will probably be
approved.
As a result, the financial affairs are going to be done more easily and the
tourists won’t be confused while purchasing, calculating and counting their
cash in Iran. Check out the article about Iranian currency for more
information about carrying money in Iran.
