The official currency of Yemen is the Yemeni Rial (YER). It is symbolized as ﷼.
Yemeni Rial banknotes come in denominations of 50, 100, 200, 250, 500, and 1,000 YER. Coins are rarely used due to inflation, and smaller denominations are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
Currency exchange services are available in major cities, though limited due to the ongoing conflict. ATMs exist in urban centers, but availability may be restricted, and international cards are not widely accepted.
Credit and debit card usage is extremely limited in Yemen. Cash is the primary method of payment, especially in rural areas. It's recommended to carry sufficient cash in Yemeni Rial for everyday transactions.
