The Bahraini dinar is the currency used in Bahrain

The Bahraini dinar was introduced in 1965, replacing the Gulf rupee at a rate of 10 rupees to 1 dinar. Initially, it was equivalent to three-quarters of a pound sterling (15 shillings). When the sterling was devalued in 1967, the dinar was re-pegged to 17 shillings and sixpence sterling (7/8 of a pound). Bahraini coins and notes were introduced at that time.

In December 1980, the dinar was officially pegged to the IMF's special drawing rights (SDRs). In practice, it is fixed at a rate of 1 USD to 0.376 BHD, which translates to approximately 1 BHD to 2.65957 USD. This rate was made official in 2001 via Decree (48) Article 1. As of December 2021, the Bahraini dinar is the second-highest-valued currency unit, at 2.65 USD per unit.

As of November 2024, 1 Bahraini dinar is equivalent to 4469.5838 Nigerian nairas.

The Nigerian naira is the currency used in Nigeria

As of November 2024, 1 Bahraini Dinar (BHD) is worth 4,469.58 Nigerian Nairas (NGN). The Nigerian Naira is the currency used in Nigeria. It was introduced on 1 January 1973, replacing the Nigerian pound at a rate of £1 = ₦2. The name "naira" was derived from the word "Nigeria" by Obafemi Awolowo. The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) is the sole issuer of legal tender money in the country. It controls the volume of money in the economy to ensure monetary and price stability.

The Naira is divided into 100 kobo. In 1973, coins were introduced in denominations of 1/2, 1, 5, 10 and 25 kobo, with the 1/2 and 1 kobo coins minted in bronze and the higher denominations in cupro-nickel. The 1/2 kobo coins were only minted that year. In 1991, smaller 1, 10 and 25 kobo coins were issued in copper-plated steel, along with nickel-plated-steel 50 kobo and ₦1 coins. On 28 February 2007, new coins were issued in denominations of 50 kobo, ₦1 and ₦2, with the ₦1 and ₦2 being bimetallic.

The Naira has seen several banknote redesigns since its introduction. On 1 January 1973, the CBN introduced notes in denominations of 50 kobo, ₦1, ₦5, ₦10 and ₦20. In April 1984, the colours of all naira banknotes were changed to combat money laundering. In 1991, a ₦50 note was issued, and the 50 kobo and ₦1 notes were replaced by coins. This was followed by the introduction of ₦100 notes in 1999, ₦200 in 2000, ₦500 in 2001, and ₦1,000 on 12 October 2005.

In recent years, the Naira has faced challenges due to high inflation and economic instability. In 2022, the CBN announced a decision to redesign the Naira to curb the circulation of counterfeit notes. The CBN has also faced difficulties in keeping up with the demand for new banknotes, leading to shortages at ATMs and long lines of people waiting to withdraw cash.

The Bahraini dinar is the second-highest valued currency unit in the world, after the Kuwaiti dinar. This is largely due to Bahrain's vast oil wealth, combined with domestic political stability and economic policies.

In 1965, coins were introduced in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 fils. The 1, 5, and 10 fils were struck in bronze, while the others were made of cupro-nickel.
