Official and market exchange rates

Keep source type, direction and timing separate when comparing a currency transaction.

Identify what the number represents

An official reference rate, a retail cash quote and a parallel-market quote can describe different transactions. A number is incomplete without its source, currency direction, unit and observation time. Nahrly keeps official observations separate and does not fill missing market data with an estimate.

Check the quotation unit

Some quotes refer to one dollar; others refer to a 100-dollar amount. Divide a per-100 quote by 100 before comparing it with a per-one quote. This is a unit conversion, not evidence that one source is cheaper.

For a purely hypothetical rate of 1,300 IQD per USD, 100 USD converts to 130,000 IQD before fees. To reverse the conversion, divide the dinar amount by 1,300. This example teaches the formula; it is not today's price.

Compare the amount you actually receive

Ask whether the quote is for buying or selling, whether fees are included and whether the quoted rate applies to your transaction size and payment method. The difference between two headline rates may shrink or grow after those details.

Use the official reference page to inspect CBI observations. Use the manual converter for a rate you have independently verified. An observation timestamp means when the source was read, not when a bank or dealer last changed its price.
