Description | The dinar was the currency of Sudan between 1992 and 2007. It replaced the first Sudanese pound (SDP) on June 8, 1992 at a rate of 1 dinar = 10 pounds. On January 10, 2007, a second Sudanese pound (SDG) was introduced at a rate of 1 pound = 100 dinars. The pound and the dinar were to be accepted as legal currency side by side during the six-month period but cheques were to be cashed in pounds from the commercial banks. This second Sudanese pound became the only legal tender as of July 1, 2007. |
