It can be difficult to exchange leftover Saudi riyal coins. Banks and foreign exchange companies don't generally accept coins because they're expensive to process and transport, so your options for exchanging any leftover shrapnel back into pounds can be limited:
Over the past 30 days, the Saudi riyal buyback rate has risen 0.79% from 4.8898 on 25 Nov to 4.9284 today. This means Saudi riyals can be exchanged for more pounds today compared to a month ago. Right now, SR 1000 is worth approximately £202.91 which is £1.6 more than you'd have got on 25 Nov.
These are the average Saudi riyal buyback rates taken from our panel of UK travel money providers at the end of each day. You can explore this further on our Saudi riyal to British pound currency chart.
No, you'll get more for your Saudi riyals if you sell when the Saudi riyal buyback rate is low. This is due to a quirk of how British currency providers display their buyback exchange rates.
When you buy Saudi riyals, the exchange rate you get is the amount of Saudi riyals you'll receive for every pound that you spend, so for example a rate of 4.8898 means you'd get SR 4.8898 for each £1 that you spend. You can calculate the total amount of Saudi riyals you'd receive for a given amount of sterling by simply multiplying the sterling amount by the exchange rate.
When it comes to selling Saudi riyals, the buyback rate is expressed in terms of how many Saudi riyals you'd need to sell in order to get £1, so a buyback rate of 4.8898 means you'd need to sell SR 4.8898 to get £1. To calculate the sterling value of a given amount of Saudi riyals, you need to divide the Saudi riyal amount by the buyback rate. Since you're dividing by the buyback rate, a lower buyback rate means you'd get more sterling compared to a higher buyback rate.
One Saudi riyal (SR) can be subdivded into 100 halalas. There are six denominations of Saudi riyal banknotes in frequent circulation: SR 1, SR 5, SR 10, SR 50, SR 100 and SR 500; and seven coins: 1 halalah, 5 halalas, 10 halalas, 25 halalas, 50 halalas, SR 1 and SR 2.
The current series of Saudi riyal banknotes, issued by the Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority in 2007, is known as the 'Sixth Issue' or 'SAMA series'. The designs on these banknotes feature a combination of iconic landmarks, cultural symbols, and portraits of past Saudi Arabian kings. For instance, the SR 1 note showcases the image of King Abdulaziz Al Saud, the founder of Saudi Arabia, alongside an illustration of the Saudi Arabian flag. The SR 5 note depicts an image of King Fahd Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, while the SR 10 note features King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud. The higher denominations; SR 50, SR 100 and SR 500, showcase architectural landmarks like the Al-Masmak Fortress, Al-Diriyah Palace, and the King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture.
