Comparison with the affluent neighbors young the Republic of Yemen does not stand up – she is extremely poor, and the value of the coins of Yemen is low.
The historic unification of both parts of the country used their own currency: the Rial in the North and the Dinar in the South. In the first years both currencies were equal in the new Republic. The difference in rates was offset by the price of the coin Yemen 1 Rial corresponded to 26 Dinara.
