The '''dinar''' ([[Arabic language|Arabic]]: دينار)is the [[currency]] of [[Bahrain]]. The [[ISO 4217]] currency code is BHD. It is divided into 1000 [[Fils (currency)|fils]] (فلس). The name [[dinar]] derives from the Roman [[denarius]]. The dinar was introduced in 1965, replacing the [[Gulf rupee]] at a rate of 10 rupees = 1 dinar. The Bahraini dinar is abbreviated .د.ب (Arabic) or ''BD'' (Latin). It is usually represented with three decimal places denoting the fils.
==Coins==
In 1965, coins were introduced in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 fils. The 1, 5 and 10 fils were struck in bronze, with the others in cupro-nickel. The 1 fils coin was not produced after 1966 and no longer circulates. In 1992, brass replaced bronze in the 5 and 10 fils and a [[bi-metallic coins|bimetallic]] 100 fils coin was introduced. A bimetallic 500 fils followed in 2000.

==Banknotes==
In 1965, The Bahrain Currency Board introduced notes in denominations of 100 fils, ¼, ½, 1, 5 and 10 dinar. In 1973, the [[Bahrain Monetary Agency]] took over production of paper money, issuing notes for ½, 1, 5, 10 and 20 dinar. In 2006, the Monetary Agency was renamed the Central Bank. On March 2, 2008, the Central Bank of Bahrain has released pictures of the new notes bearing its name in the local newspapers. The Central Bank stated that the new notes will be released shortly. The new notes will be used hand in hand with the old ones. The new notes also feature new images reflecting Bahrain's heritage as well as its modern development.

==Fixed exchange rate==
In December 1980, the dinar was officially pegged to the [[International Monetary Fund|IMF]]'s [[Special Drawing Rights]] (SDRs). In practice, it is fixed at 1 [[United States dollar|U.S. dollar]] = BD .376, which translates to approximately 1 dinar = 2.65957 dollars<ref>[http://www.bma.gov.bh/cmsrule/index.jsp?action=article&ID=1323 Exchange Rate Policy, Bahrain Monetary Agency]</ref> and, consequently, 10 [[Saudi Riyal|Saudi Arabian Riyals]]. This rate was made official in 2001. Before [[Malta]]'s adoption of the [[euro]] on [[1 January]] [[2008]], it was the third [[highest valued currency unit]] after the [[Kuwaiti dinar]] and [[Maltese lira]]. Now it is the second highest.
