Coins
In the sixties, silver 1 dirham coins were issued followed by nickel 1
dirham and silver 5 dirham. Inthe seventies a new coinage was introduced in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20 and 50
santimat and 1 dirham. The 1 santim coins were aluminium, the 5 up to 20
santimat were minted in brass, with the highest two denominations in
cupro-nickel. Cupro-nickel 5 dirham coins were later changed to a
bi-metal coin bearing two year designations for the issue date in the Gregorian and in the Islamic calendar.
The 1 santim was only minted until 1987 when new designs were introduced, with a
½ dirham replacing the 50 santimat without changing the size or composition. The
new 5 dirham coin was bimetallic, as was the 10 dirham coin :
Cupro-nickel 2 dirham coins were issued in 2002..
