About Kuwaiti Dinar Exchange

The Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD) is the official currency of Kuwait and one of the highest-valued currencies in the world by exchange rate. We accept all denominations of Kuwaiti Dinar banknotes and coins, including older series and damaged notes.

Current Kuwaiti Dinar Banknotes

Kuwait’s current banknotes are issued by the Central Bank of Kuwait and feature a range of security features including watermarks, security threads, and microprinting. We accept all current denominations in circulation, and if you’ve also come back with currency from neighbouring Gulf states, we can help with Bahraini Dinars and UAE Dirhams too.

Old Series & Damaged Notes

Unlike most high street exchanges, we accept withdrawn Kuwaiti Dinar banknotes as well as notes that are torn, worn, or otherwise damaged. As long as a note is at least 50% intact, we’ll make you an offer, though the rate offered may be slightly lower than for current-series notes. This is especially useful for older notes that the Central Bank of Kuwait may no longer redeem easily through standard retail channels.

Kuwaiti Dinar Coins

Kuwaiti Dinar coins are denominated in fils, and we accept a range of them, including the 100 fils coin and the 50 fils coin, as well as smaller denominations such as the 5 fils coin. As with most foreign coins, the exchange rate is slightly lower than for banknotes due to the additional handling costs involved, but it’s far better than leaving them sitting in a drawer.

Kuwaiti Dinar Exchange FAQ

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

Yes — the Kuwaiti Dinar consistently ranks as one of the highest-valued currencies globally, meaning even a small number of notes or coins can be worth a meaningful amount in British pounds. It’s well worth exchanging any leftover KWD rather than letting it go to waste.

Do you accept older or withdrawn series of Kuwaiti Dinar banknotes?

Yes, we do. We accept withdrawn Kuwaiti Dinar notes that the Central Bank of Kuwait no longer circulates, and we’ll still make you an offer provided the note is at least 50% intact. The rate may be slightly lower than for current-series notes, but it’s a straightforward way to convert currency that most exchanges won’t touch.

Can I exchange Kuwaiti fils coins as well as banknotes?

Yes! We accept Kuwaiti fils coins across a range of denominations, including the 100 fils and 20 fils coins. Do bear in mind that coins carry a slightly lower exchange rate than banknotes due to the handling involved, but we’ll still give you a fair offer.

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

Simply box up your Kuwaiti Dinar notes and coins and post them to us yourself — we’d recommend using a tracked or insured service for your own peace of mind given the high value of the currency. Once we receive and verify your KWD, we’ll pay you within 5 working days by bank transfer or PayPal. If for any reason you’re not happy with the rate we offer, we’ll return your currency to you free of charge.

Can I also exchange other Gulf currencies I brought back from the region?

Absolutely. If you’ve returned from the Gulf with a mix of currencies, we can exchange Bahraini Dinars, Qatari Riyals, Omani Rials, and UAE Dirhams as well. Each currency has its own exchange page, so you can get a rate for everything in one go.
