The Kuwaiti Dinar is the national currency of the State of Kuwait. It has a long and storied history, dating back to ancient times. Today, it is one of the most valuable currencies in the world.The Kuwaiti Dinar is made up of 100 fils. It is divided into 1000 dirhams. The dinar was first introduced in 1960, replacing the Gulf rupee at a rate of 1 dinar = 10 rupees. The dinar was pegged to the IMF's Special Drawing Rights (SDR) until 2003, when it was revalued at 1 KWD = 3.22 USD.The value of the Kuwaiti Dinar has fluctuated over time, but it remains one of the strongest currencies in terms of purchasing power parity (PPP). As of 2016, 1 KWD = 3.26 USD or 2 GBP.* In other words, you could buy almost four Big Macs with just one Kuwaiti Dinar!
