About Bahraini Dinar Exchange

The Bahraini Dinar (BHD) is the official currency of the Kingdom of Bahrain and one of the highest-valued currencies in the world. We accept all denominations of Bahraini Dinar banknotes and coins, including older series and damaged notes.

Current Bahraini Dinar Banknotes

The current Bahraini Dinar banknotes issued in 2008 feature the portrait of King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and incorporate a range of modern security features including colour-shifting ink and holographic strips. We accept all denominations from this series, including the 10 dinar note and the 20 dinar note, as well as smaller denominations such as the half dinar and 1 dinar notes. If you have leftover dinars from a trip to Bahrain, we make it straightforward to convert them into sterling.

Old Series & Damaged Notes

Unlike most high street exchanges, we also accept older withdrawn Bahraini Dinar banknotes, as well as notes that are torn, worn, or otherwise damaged. Any note that is at least 50% intact is eligible for exchange, though the rate offered will be slightly lower than for current series notes. If you are also holding currency from neighbouring Gulf states, we exchange Kuwaiti Dinars, Omani Rials, and Qatari Riyals too.

Bahraini Dinar Coins

The Bahraini Dinar subdivides into 1,000 fils, and coins are issued in a range of denominations including the 100 fils and 50 fils, as well as smaller values such as the 25, 10, and 5 fils coins. We accept all of these, though the exchange rate for coins is slightly lower than for banknotes due to the additional handling involved.

Bahraini Dinar Exchange FAQ

Is the Bahraini Dinar one of the most valuable currencies in the world?

Yes — the Bahraini Dinar is consistently one of the highest-valued currencies globally, meaning even small denominations can be worth a meaningful amount in sterling. This makes it well worth exchanging rather than leaving dinars sitting in a drawer after your trip.

Can I exchange Bahraini Dinar coins as well as banknotes?

Yes, we accept Bahraini fils coins including the 100 fils, 50 fils, 25 fils, 10 fils, and 5 fils denominations. Most banks and airport bureaux won’t take foreign coins, so we offer a convenient alternative, though the rate for coins is slightly lower than for banknotes due to handling costs.

Do you accept damaged or torn Bahraini Dinar banknotes?

Yes. As long as a note is at least 50% intact, we will exchange it. The rate may be slightly lower than for notes in good condition, but unlike most high street exchanges we won’t simply turn damaged currency away.

How do I send my Bahraini Dinars to you and when will I be paid?

Simply box up your dinars securely and post them to us yourself using whichever postal service you prefer. Once we receive and verify your currency, we will process payment within 5 working days by bank transfer or PayPal. If for any reason you are not happy with the rate we offer, we will return your currency to you free of charge.

Can I exchange old Bahraini Dinar banknotes that are no longer in circulation?

Yes, we accept withdrawn Bahraini Dinar banknotes as well as current series notes. The rate for older withdrawn notes is generally slightly lower, but if you have dinars from a previous trip to Bahrain and are unsure whether they are still current, feel free to contact us and we can advise you.
