History of Bahá'í Currency

The Bahá'í currencies are known as "Bahár," and they are special symbolic currencies used within the Bahá'í community. The idea of these currencies dates back to the early twentieth century, specifically during the era of "Abdu'l-Bahá," the son of the founder of the Bahá'í faith, who sought to unify the Bahá'í nation and facilitate financial transactions among its members.

These currencies were not a substitute for national currencies but were primarily used in internal transactions, such as making donations to Bahá'í institutions or purchasing goods from stores owned by Bahá'ís.

Although they did not spread widely, "Bahár" represents a part of Bahá'í heritage and reflects the spirit of unity and cooperation among community members.

The use of "Bahár" currencies ceased long ago, but they still attract the interest of researchers and historians and are considered a unique piece of Bahá'í history.
