Currency - Dinar (TND)

 

Two notes of 5 and 50 dinars both dated 2022. These are a new series of banknotes, first introduced in 2017 with the 20 dinars note and then followed by the 10 dinars dated 2020. These two 5 and 50 dinars notes replaced those previously issued in 2013 (5 dinars) and 2011 (50 dinars). Needless to say, the designs are also completely new too.

The 5 and 50 dinars were reportedly released on 28.04.2022.
