The program deals with the currencies that were traded in Jordan through history and the different civilizations they belonged to, such as the Greek, Nabataean, Byzantine, Sasanian and Islamic. These currencies and coins have been cast and kept in the National Museums. It is a heritage of a great value that helps to study the history of Jordan through the prints of civilizations, as well as the conflicts every region of Jordan had known.
