The dinar (Arabic: دينار جزائري, romanized: Dīnār Ǧazāʾirī; sign: DA; code: DZD) is the monetary currency of Algeria and it is subdivided into 100 centimes.

In traditional selling places such as the vegetable market or in the case of street vendors, prices are displayed in francs, in more modern shops the prices are displayed in dinars but the franc is used in speech.

The obverses showed the emblem of Algeria, while the reverses carried the values in Eastern Arabic numerals.

A 200 dinar bi-metallic coin was issued in 2012 to commemorate Algeria's 50th anniversary of independence.

The 1998 dated 500 and 1000 dinar notes have an additional vertical holographic strip on obverse.
