During the French occupation (1830–1962), the French franc was the official currency, minted in France and Algeria.
After independence in 1962, the franc was replaced by the Algerian dinar in 1964 to assert national economic sovereignty.
The dinar has experienced periods of inflation and volatility, especially due to Algeria’s reliance on oil and gas revenues.
Monetary reforms have been implemented to control inflation and stabilize the currency.
The Central Bank of Algeria is responsible for monetary policy and currency issuance.
Coins bear national and Islamic symbols such as the Algerian eagle, Ketchaoua Mosque, and Arabic inscriptions.
Banknotes feature images of historical figures like Emir Abdelkader, symbols of the Algerian revolution, and notable scientists and artists.
Banknotes are signed by the Governor of the Central Bank of Algeria and the bank’s Director General.
Specific print run data is not publicly available, but coins and banknotes are produced in quantities sufficient to meet domestic demand.
Commemorative coins have been issued on national occasions such as Independence Day and the Algerian Revolution anniversary.
The Algerian dinar is the official currency and is actively circulating.
Centimes are rarely used in daily transactions due to their low value.
The Central Bank of Algeria’s legislation governs currency issuance and monetary policy.
Laws related to economic independence and inflation control influence monetary policy decisions.
