Union dinar

The Union dinar (Arabic: الدينار الاتحادي ad-dīnār al-ittiḥādī; symbol: ð; ISO code: UND) is the national currency of the Arab Union. It is minted by the Union Mint in Damascus and issued by the Arab Union Central Bank. It is divided into 100 ma'āt (مئات; sg. mi'ah مئة) and 1000 fils (فلس; singular and plural). However, fils coins have been out of circulation since 1988 and the 1 mi'ah coin since 2016, with the lowest value coin currently in circulation being 5 ma'āt, or 5/100 of a dinar (ð0.05); fils are also obsolete in digital form, with balances always rounded to the nearest mi'ah (ð0.01).

The current exchange rate as of April 2022 is ð1.00 = US$0.556.
