USD to AMD Exchange Rate History — Armenia
This page charts the historical USD to Armenian Dram (AMD) parallel — or "black market" — exchange rate in Armenia. As new readings are collected they appear in the chart and tables below, building a record of how the street price of the dollar has moved over time.
The Armenian dram floats and strengthened sharply after 2022 as money and migrants arrived; exchange offices quote rates very close to the official one.
How to read the AMD rate history
The chart plots the parallel buy rate — how many AMD it took to buy one US dollar — at each point we recorded. The daily table below lists the closing buy and sell rate for each day, while the monthly table summarises the average, high and low for each month, which is useful for comparing one period with another.
A rising line means the Armenian Dram is losing value (more AMD per dollar); a falling line means it is gaining.
What has moved the Armenian Dram recently?
In Armenia, the parallel rate is driven by factors such as post-2022 inflows of people and capital, remittances, global risk sentiment. When dollars become scarcer or confidence falls, the street rate climbs ahead of the official Central Bank of Armenia (CBA) rate; when supply improves or policy tightens, the gap can narrow again.
Because the parallel rate often moves before official devaluations, its history is a useful early-warning record — a steadily rising trend frequently precedes an official adjustment, while a long plateau suggests relative stability.
Using historical AMD rates
Historical rates help with budgeting, invoicing, remittance planning and spotting trends, but they are not a forecast — past movements do not guarantee future ones. For the live rate, see our main USD to AMD page, and use the converter for exact amounts.
