Tunisian Dinar

Tunisia’s currency is called the Dinar (Sign: TND; code: TND). In this article, you can find current mid-market Tunisian Dinar exchange rate, get familiar with the notes and coins of the Tunisian currency and other tips related to using local money that can make your trip to Tunisia easier and more cost effective.

Preferred Payment Method in Tunisia

You will be expected to use the Tunisian currency for all cash purchases as other currencies are not accepted in Tunisia. Currency exchange booths are found in all international airports and in most of touristy areas so you won’t be short of local currency if you will bring enough cash.

Even though credit and debit cards are increasingly accepted, for most day-to-day purchases especially when dealing with small businesses in Tunisia, you will have to use cash.

Cash Withdrawal from ATM in Tunisia

International access ATMs can be found across Tunisia but they charge extra 10 Tunisian Dinars for every withdrawal additionally to the transaction fee for overseas withdrawals of your card.

Currency Exchange in Tunisia

Bringing cash and exchanging it in Tunisia is usually the most affordable option as there are currency exchange banks everywhere, including in airports, offering really good rates.

Tunisian Dinar Notes and Coins

Tunisian Dinar Notes

Getting a change from the largest Tunisian Dinar note (50 Dinars) sometimes can be complicated on the street if you’re just buying some snack for 1 Dinar or so.

Use largest Tunisian currency notes for paying at supermarkets and other larger shops and restaurants and leave some smaller notes and coins for your accidental purchases on the street.

Tunisian Dinar coins

Tunisian Dinar coins are also represented – Tunisia’s currency coins include:

  • 10 Millimes
  • 20 Millimes
  • 50 Millimes
  • 100 Millimes
  • 200 Millimes
  • 500 Millimes
  • 1 Dinar (which equals 1000 Millimes)
  • 2 Dinars
  • 5 Dinars

Both 10 and 20 Tunisian currency coins are rarely used as normally all the prices are rounded to 50 or 100 Millimes, except of prices at some supermarkets. Don’t be surprised if some vendors didn’t give you some change back using these Tunisian currency coins.
