Following the massive inflation which accompanied the transition to a more capitalist economy in the early 1990s, the centime coins have dropped out of general circulation, as have the 1 and 2 dinar coins.[1] Nonetheless, prices are typically quoted in centimes in everyday speech; thus a price of 100 dinars is read as عشر الاف "ten thousand".

Was there a 100:1 revaluation at some point? If not, where did teh custom of citing prices in centimes originate? Nik42 10:48, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
