Changing money is very easy in Jordan, and most major currencies are accepted in cash and travelers cheques. US dollars are the most accepted, followed by UK pounds and euros; you'll get nowhere with Australian or New Zealand dollars. There are no restrictions on bringing dinars into Jordan. It's possible to change dinars back into some foreign currencies in Jordan, but you'll need to show receipts to prove that you changed your currency into dinars at a bank in Jordan. Banks seem to offer slightly better rates than money changers for cash, but the difference is not worth worrying about unless you're going to change a huge amount. Most large hotels will change money (sometimes for guests only) but rates are always lower than those offered by the banks and money changers. There are small branches of major banks at the borders and at the airports.
