The currency abbreviation or currency symbol for the Iraqi Dinar (IQD), the currency of Iraq. The dinar is made up of 1,000 fils and is often presented with the symbol (__).  The dinar replaced the Indian rupee as the country's national currency, which is issued by the Central Bank of Iraq. 



|||The dinar was first seen in 1931 and was pegged with the British pound until 1959. It was pegged to the U.S. dollar thereafter, and the dinar was worth over $3 in U.S. currency until the Gulf War. The dinar devalued drastically at that point, but new currency was issued and this currency has been valued at a set rate by the International Monetary Fund.
