Banknotes of Bahrain

The official currency of Bahrain is the Bahraini dinar (BHD), issued by the Central Bank of Bahrain since 2006. Paper money was first introduced in Bahrain in 1965, with the issuance of banknotes by the Bahrain Currency Board. In 1984, a major reform occurred when the dinar replaced the Bahraini riyal at a rate of one dinar to 10 riyals. Collectors are drawn to Bahrain's banknotes due to their vibrant designs featuring intricate patterns and historical figures. A specific highlight is the series introduced in 2010, which showcases images of the country's architecture and cultural landmarks, blending modern aesthetics with traditional motifs.
