Banknotes of Tunisia

The official currency of Tunisia is the Tunisian dinar (TND), issued by the Central Bank of Tunisia, established in 1958. Paper money was first introduced in the country during the French protectorate in 1888. One significant change occurred in 1960 when the dinar was adopted, replacing the previous franc at a rate of 1 dinar to 1000 francs. Collectors are drawn to Tunisia's banknotes for their vibrant designs and intricate imagery. One notable series, issued in 2002, features prominent figures from Tunisian history along with scenes of daily life, showcasing a blend of traditional and modern elements. Such detailed portrayals provide insight into Tunisia's evolving national identity and artistry.
