The Kuwaiti dinar (Arabic: دينار كويتي, code: KWD) is the currency of Kuwait. It is sub-divided into 1,000 fulūs. [2] As of 2023, the Kuwaiti dinar is the currency with the highest value per base unit, with KD 1 equalling US$ 3.26, [3] ahead of the Bahraini dinar with BD 1 equalling US$2.65 and Omani rial at US$2.60.
The dinar did not follow the devaluation of the French franc in 1958, thus the exchange rate peg was abandoned. Instead a peg to the United States dollar of 1 dinar = 2.38 dollars was established which was maintained until 1964, when the dinar devalued to 1 dinar = 1.90 dollars. This second rate was held until the dollar was devalued in 1971.
