About Kuwaiti Dinar (د.ك)
The Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD, ISO 4217 code 414, symbol د.ك or KD) is the official currency of the State of Kuwait, issued by the Central Bank of Kuwait (CBK, est. 1969). Subdivided into 1,000 fils. Banknotes: 1/4 KD, 1/2 KD, 1 KD, 5 KD, 10 KD, 20 KD (the highest denomination; current 6th series introduced 2014 features Kuwaiti heritage themes — old Kuwaiti houses, the dhow boat, falconry, oil industry, Kuwait Towers); coins: 5 fils, 10 fils, 20 fils, 50 fils, 100 fils (very small denominations, rarely used).
