Description
The Kuwaiti dinar is the official currency of Kuwait, issued by the Central Bank of Kuwait. It is subdivided into 1,000 fils, making it one of the highest‑valued currency units in the world.
Introduced in 1961 to replace the Gulf rupee, the dinar is symbolized by KD and the Arabic abbreviation د.ك. Kuwait’s oil‑rich economy underpins its strength, and while coins and notes are minted in both Arabic and English, the dinar remains a symbol of the nation’s financial stability.
