NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Kuwaiti Dinar

The Kuwaiti dinar (ISO 4217 code KWD) is Kuwait's official currency. The dinar is sub-divided into 1000 fils. It was established in 1960 and replaced the Gulf rupee in 1961. The dinar was initially equivalent to one pound sterling. As the rupee was fixed at 1 shilling 6 pence, this resulted in a conversion rate of 13¹⁄₃ rupees to the dinar.
