The best I managed to do was quite detailed historical records dating
back to 2000. I also found another source that includes all data from
present dating back to June 1998, but only sparse data dating from
there back to 1993 (no data seems to be available beyond 1993). Is
this sufficient as an answer?

I guess i am try to find out how the real behaves when the dollar goes
up and that's why I am looking for data before 2000. I was also able
to find data up to 2000

As I said, I also found another source that includes all data from
present dating back to June 1998, but only sparse data dating from
there back to 1993 (though no data appears to be available beyond
1993). Are you interested in this as an official answer, or shall I
move on?

I'm sorry. Your response is still unclear. Would you like me to post

Yes

Dear bizio-ga;

Since you are agreeable to my information as an answer I am posting it
here in an effort to officially close your question:

In the center column you will find the historical exchange rate of the
Iranian Rial against the US Dollar. As I mentioned the chart includes
data from present dating back to June 1998, but only sparse data
dating back to 1993 (and no data beyond 1993).

EXCHANGE RATE

Dear Bizio,
Regarding your question, please note that the exchange rate between IR
Rial and US$ has been pegged in various stages in the past. The
country followed a two rate system until a couple of years ago,
through which there were two exchange rates. One lower rate to be used
for government expenses or major industrial projects (e.g. 1750rls
1997-2002). There was another semi-floating rate for other use. Hence
the table in the link provided does not reflect the floating rls
exchange rate.
The current FX system is a unified semi-floating exchange rate.
Hope this helps.
