What currencies should travelers bring when crossing overland between Jordan and Iraq?

Question

Accepted Answer

Travelers should carry cash in three separate currencies because card payments are not accepted at border counters or desert rest stops: Jordanian Dinars (JOD) for Jordanian border fees and food, clean and unblemished US Dollar banknotes (USD) for Iraqi border payments, and Iraqi Dinars (IQD) for stops along the Iraqi highway.
