What does DINAR mean in Scrabble?
noun
The name of the basic unit of currency used today in several countries of the Middle East, North Africa and the Balkans, including Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait and Serbia.
The word dinar reached Arabic from the Roman denarius, and early Islamic states minted a gold coin under this name before it later became the everyday paper currency it is now. Its value differs enormously from one country to the next: a single Kuwaiti dinar is worth many times a dollar, while other dinars trade closer to it, so the name alone says nothing about how much money is involved. Depending on the country, a dinar divides into smaller units such as fils or paras rather than a uniform hundredth.
