We have been receiving lots of inquiries about where to change 100 baisa to Philippine peso so I researched about it.
The money of Oman is called OMANI RIAL and its units are called baisa.
100 baisa is the smallest banknote of Oman in value.
Merong 100 baisa na papel, meron ding 100 baisa na coin. The other coins are 5 baisa, 10 baisa, 25 baisa and 50 baisa.
This means 100 baisa is only one-tenth of 1 Omani Rial.
Kumbaga sa atin, parang ang 100 baisa ay dies sentimos lang.
Sad to say, I found out that NO Money Changer in the Philippines is changing 100 baisa.
Siempre, napakaliit nga naman ng value. It is not profitable for a money changer to change 100 baisa.
Yong Omani rial na nga lang, hindi pinapalitan ng maraming money changers, yong baisa pa kaya. Maybe the volume of Omani rials being exchanged in the Philippines is so small that changing Omani rial is not profitable for money changers here. Czarina, Sanry’s and the others are not changing Omani rials.
Based on foreign exchange calculators online:
1 Omani Rial = 140 pesos ( more or less)
but on the website of Naila’s Money Changer, the exchange rate as of June 4, 2025 is:
1 Omani Rial = 135.00 pesos
and because 1 Omani Rial = 1,000 baisa
1,000 baisa = 140.00 pesos
and
100 baisa = 14.00 pesos
14 pesos!
Kulang pa sa pamasahe sa jeep at tricycle, halimbawa lang merong magpapalit nito. Eh kung mag UV Express ka pa.
We suggest, ipunin mo na lang ang mga 100 baisa mo, then gawin mong collection mo
or ipagpalit mo na lang sa OFW na nagtatrabaho sa Oman.
UPDATE as of June 4, 2025:
Naila’s Money Changer’s exchange rate for Omani Rial on June 4, 2025:
1 Omani Rial = 135.00 pesos
In May 2024, it was 140 pesos.

How does a circulated 1991 Omani 100 baisa coin look like?
The aluminum-bronze-copper-nickel 100 baisa coins were made in 1991.
They were made to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Omani coinage. The inner circle is made of bi-metallic aluminum-bronze and the outer ring is made of copper-nickel.
They were commemorative coins, but they were circulated and were used by the public as legal tender.
There were also other 100 baisa coins created in the 1990s.
If you have these coins, you can sell them on ebay.com. Research their current prices online.
In 2015, copper nickel 100 baisa coins were also created and released to the public to commemorate the 45th National Day in 2015.
These coins are commemorative, but they can also be used by the public as legal tender.
