Bahrain's official currency is the Bahraini Dinar (BHD), which breaks down into 1,000 smaller units called fils. You'll find banknotes in denominations of 0.5, 1, 5, 10, and 20 dinars, while coins come in 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 fils.
The Bahraini Dinar has maintained a stable peg to the US dollar since 1980, making it the second most valuable currency globally after the Kuwaiti Dinar. While BHD is the official legal tender, many businesses—particularly larger establishments—readily accept Saudi Riyals (SAR). If you need to exchange other currencies, you'll find services at Bahrain International Airport and numerous exchange bureaus and banks throughout major cities like Manama. It's always smart to keep some local currency handy for smaller purchases.
