The dinar (Arabic : دينار, currency symbol : SD, ISO 4217 code : SLD) is the monetary currency of Salamat and it is subdivided into 100 binat. Binat are now obsolete due to their extremely low value.

History

The Salamati Dinar was introduced on May 26 1970, replacing the Riamese hull which was the currency of Salamat for more than 140 years.

Coins

In 1970, the the coin denominations of 10 binat, 20 binat, 50 binat, 1 dinar, 2 dinara, 5 dinara and 10 dinara were introduced, with the 10 binat, 20 binat and 50 binat coins being struck in aluminium, 1 dinar and 2 dinara coins in cupronickel and 5 and 10 dinara coins in aluminium bronze. The obverse showed the value in both Standard arabic numerals and East arabic numerals, and the reverse showed the coat of arms of Salamat and the date of minting in Gregorian year and Hijri year. A second series was introduced in 1981, with new fractioned dinar coins in aluminum , and a new aluminium bronze 20 dinara coin. The 10 binat, 20 binat and 50 binat became obsolete. A third series was introduced in 1988, following the failure of Al Kharrabi's economic plan which brought economic stagnation and inflation, with new 1 dinar, 2 dinara, 5 dinara, 10 dinara, 20 dinara, 50 dinara and 100 dinara coins. The goverment introduced a bimetallic 200 dinara coin in 1991 due to demand and the binat were deemed obsolete in 1992.

Coins in general circulation are 5 dinara coins and higher. Lower value coins (10 binat, 20 binat, 50 binat minted between 1970 and 1981, 1/4 dinar and 1/2 dinar minted between 1981 and 1988 and 1 dinar and 2 dinara coins minted between 1970 and 2000) are deemed obsolete by the government, and these coins aren't accepted for transactions (except rare cases). All prices are rounded to the nearest 5 dinara.

Banknotes

The first series of banknotes issued in 1970 contained banknotes in denominations of 10, 50, 100 and 200 dinara. 500, 1000 and 2000 dinara banknotes were added in the second series in 1981, 5000 dinara banknotes in the third series of 1988 and 10000 dinara banknotes in 2000 as a part of the fourth series.
