The dinar is a currency used in several countries, primarily in the Middle East and North Africa. It is often subdivided into smaller units, such as fils. The name "dinar" is derived from the Roman denarius, reflecting its historical roots in ancient trade. Countries that use the dinar include Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan, and Bahrain. Each country has its own version of the dinar, which may vary in value and design. The dinar is an important part of the economies in these regions, facilitating trade and commerce.
