At the beginning of the march, officers warned people not to go any further, but images showed that protesters ignored the police warning.
Some protesters also held placards that read, "A market with zeal for support." As in recent months' demonstrations, protesters chanted the slogan "May your soul rest in peace Reza Shah Pahlavi."
In recent days, the value of one US dollar has reached about 12,000 Tomans in the unofficial market. The Rouhani government's efforts to control the value of the dollar have failed.
This comes as President Trump reimposes the first round of Iran nuclear sanctions in a few days, targeting Iran's oil and gas market.
