Local currency (Tunisian Dinar)

Tunisia's official currency is the dinar (ISO 4217 currency code: TND), which is subdivided into 1000 milim or millimes. In Tunisia, the abbreviation DT is commonly used to refer to the dinar, and it is also acceptable to write "dinar" after the amount. While the abbreviation TD is mentioned in a few places, it is less frequently used due to the widespread use of French in Tunisia and the French derivation of DT. TND is a less colloquial abbreviation that tends to be used more in financial circles.

• 1 TND = 0.30 EUR / 1 EUR = 3.31 TND
• 1 TND = 0.32 USD / 1 USD = 3.04 TND
