The dinar was the currency of Sudan between June 8, 1992 and January 10, 2007. Its ISO 4217 code is "SDD". It is now replaced by the pound.

History

The dinar replaced the first Sudanese pound (SDP) on June 8, 1992 at a rate of 1 dinar = 10 pounds. On January 10, 2007, a second Sudanese pound (SDG) was introduced at a rate of 1 pound = 100 dinars. According to the Bank of Sudan, the dinar will stop circulating after a six month transitional period. The pound and the dinar are to be accepted as legal currency side by side during the six month period but cheques are to be cashed in pounds from the commercial banks. The Bank of Sudan has started distributing the new currency to commercial banks and has sent consignments of banknotes to the south. [http://www.smc.sd/en/artopic.asp?artID=23360&aCK=EA] . This second Sudanese pound became the only legal tender as of July 1 2007.

Coins

Coins were issued in denominations of ¼, ½, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 dinar. A sourcecite web |author=Numismatic Dimensions |year=2005 |month=May |url=http://www.wbcc.fsnet.co.uk/af-sud.htm |title=Africa - Coins of Sudan |accessdate=2006-07-19] indicates that bi-metallic 50 and 100 dinar coins were planned but that this plan was shelved because of the introduction of the second pound. See below for more detail.

Banknotes

Banknotes were issued in denominations of 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000, 2000 and 5000 dinars. The lowest three denominations were withdrawn on 1 January 2000 in order to "stop the spread of disease".Fact|date=February 2007 Old pound notes also circulated alongside dinar notes.
