The Tunisian Currency

1 Tunisian Dinar (TND) = 1.000 Millimes
 
1 Currency = x TND

Exchange rates provided by: www.exchange-rates.org

Here is the actual official exchange rate of the tunisian central bank

The tunisian currency is in a state of "controlled floating" towards other currencies.
There is meanwhile an official interbank exchange rate (not a fixed rate determined by the central bank),
but the import and export of the currency is still strictly forbidden.

The ownership and ability of exchange of foreign currencies are strictly regulated for the citizens of Tunisia,
citizens of other countries may exchange an unlimited amount of money into the Dinar,
but the reverse is strictly limited and only allowed in small (previously declared and exchanged) amounts.
It has been announced that the Tunisian Dinar will become a freely convertible currency by the year 2014.


The following list shows the changes of the exchange rates (Interbank)
 of the Tunisian Dinar towards 3 major western currencies since 1999:
