The dinar is the currency of Algeria. Its ISO 4217 code is "DZD". The name is ultimately derived from the Roman denarius. It is subdivided into 100 centimes.
Coins in general circulation are the 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 dinars coins. Following the massive inflation which accompanied the transition to a more capitalist economy in the early 1990s, the centime coins have dropped out of general circulation, as have the 1 and 2 dinar coins.[1] Nonetheless, prices are typically quoted in centimes in everyday speech; thus a price of 100 dinars is read as عشر الاف "ten thousand".
Banknotes in circulation are 100, 200, 500, and 1000 dinars.
In January 2005, there were 71.6850 dinars to the United States dollar.
