Tunisian Dinar (TND)

The Tunisian dinar (TND) is the currency of Tunisia, issued by the Central Bank of Tunisia. It is one of the few currencies divided into a thousand rather than a hundred parts, so amounts are written with three decimals.

About the Tunisian Dinar

The dinar replaced the Tunisian franc in 1960, four years after independence, at a thousand francs to the dinar. It divides into 1,000 millimes, a habit it shares with the Libyan and Gulf dinars: a price of 3.450 DT means three dinars and 450 millimes, not three and a half. Coins run in millimes, notes in dinars, and receipts keep all three decimal places.

The dinar is a closed currency. It is not traded on international markets, its reference rate is set by the Central Bank of Tunisia, and taking banknotes out of the country is not allowed. Visitors change money on arrival at a bank, a hotel desk or an authorised office, and are expected to convert what they have not spent before leaving. Reconversion at departure is capped and requires the receipts from the original exchange, so it is worth keeping them and changing in modest amounts.

The dinar is the only legal tender in Tunisia and has no legal circulation abroad.

FAQ

What is the currency of Tunisia?

Tunisia uses the dinar, ISO code TND, written DT or د.ت and issued by the Central Bank of Tunisia. One dinar divides into 1,000 millimes, which is why Tunisian prices carry three decimals rather than two.

Can I bring Tunisian dinars home with me?

No. The dinar may not be taken out of Tunisia, and it is not bought or sold by banks abroad. Change back whatever you have left before you fly, at a bank or an exchange office in the airport, and bring the receipts from your original exchange since reconversion is limited and they are asked for.

Why are Tunisian prices written with three decimals?

Because the dinar divides into a thousand millimes rather than a hundred cents. A label reading 12.500 DT is twelve dinars and five hundred millimes, that is twelve and a half dinars. Reading it as twelve thousand five hundred is the classic mistake.
