About Armenian Dram
The Armenian dram is the currency of Armenia. It was historically subdivided into 100 luma. The Central Bank of Armenia is responsible for issuance and circulation of dram banknotes and coins, as well as implementing the monetary policy of Armenia.
The word dram means "money" and is cognate with the Greek drachma and the Arabic dirham, as well as the English weight unit dram. WikipediaAbout Iranian Rial
The rial is the official currency of Iran. It is subdivided into 100 dinars, but due to the rial's low purchasing power the dinar is not practically used. While POS terminals are in use in Iran, the country does not participate in any of the major international card networks due to sanctions between it and the United States. Travelers are instead advised to load money onto a local prepaid card account.
There is no official symbol for the currency but the Iranian standard ISIRI 820 defined a symbol for use on typewriters and the two Iranian standards ISIRI 2900 and ISIRI 3342 define a character code to be used for it. The Unicode Standard has a compatibility character defined U+FDFC ﷼ RIAL SIGN.
A proposal has been agreed to by the Iranian Parliament to drop one zero at the end of number, by replacing the rial with a new currency called the toman, the name of a previous Iranian currency, at the rate of 1,000 toman = 10,000 rials. Wikipedia
