All about Bahraini currency

A quick guide to money in Bahrain

The Bahraini Dinar has a fascinating history that reflects its global ties. Introduced in 1965 to replace the Gulf Rupee, the Dinar has held strong as one of the most valuable currencies in the world. It’s pegged to the US Dollar at a stable rate, giving it a reputation for reliability.

Bahraini notes and coins

Each BHD is divided into 1,000 fils.

Coins are made out of bronze and nickel, and come in 5c, 10c, 25c, 50c and 100c Bahraini coins.

There’s also a 500c coin currently still in circulation, although it was discontinued in 2011 and is slowly disappearing from the local currency.

For larger purchases, Bahraini banknotes are available in $½, $1, $5, $10 and $20 denominations.

Fun facts about Bahraini cash

The $1 note depicts an image of Bahrain’s first school – Al Hedaya Al Kahlifiya.
In 2008, a new series of banknotes was introduced to reflect the old and new development of Bahrain (heritage meets modern).

Travel Money Trivia - Bahrain edition

The Central Bank of Bahrain, established in 2006, is responsible for maintaining monetary and financial stability in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
5c and 10c coins are rarely used and the 500c coin was discontinued in 2011 after the revolution of Bahrain (triggered by the Arab Spring).

If you originally bought your Bahraini Dinars from us, you may qualify for our Buy Back Bonus for even better value. Just bring your original receipt.

Do I need cash in Bahrain?
Yes, cash is still important in Bahrain! While modern infrastructure provides excellent card acceptance at malls, hotels, and upscale restaurants, cash is needed for traditional souqs like Manama Souq, local cafes and restaurants, some taxis (though Uber and Careem are widely used), street vendors, tipping, and smaller businesses. Having Bahraini Dinar cash ensures you can experience authentic Bahraini culture, shop at traditional markets, and handle everyday transactions.
