Algerian Dinar (DZD) Overview
The Algerian Dinar (DZD) is the official currency of Algeria, introduced in 1964 to replace the Algerian franc. It is issued and managed by the Bank of Algeria, the country's central bank. The currency is subdivided into 100 santeems, although santeem coins are no longer in circulation due to low value.
Algeria's economy is heavily reliant on hydrocarbons, particularly oil and natural gas, which account for a significant portion of government revenue and exports. This dependence makes the Dinar's value sensitive to fluctuations in global energy prices. The exchange rate is managed by the central bank, and there are restrictions on currency convertibility for certain transactions.
For travelers and businesses, it is important to note that the Dinar is a non-convertible currency outside Algeria, and exchange rates can vary between the official rate and the parallel market. Always check current rates from official sources before any transaction.
