Algeria introduced the Algerian Dinar (DZD) in 1964, two years after independence.

A major redesign of Algerian circulating coinage followed in the early 1990s. Several denominations adopted motifs connected with the country’s natural heritage and wildlife.

The 100 Dinars KM#132 first appeared in 1992 and remained in use for more than two decades. The 2018 coin carries the corresponding Islamic date 1439 AH. Last Dodo
