Algeria 2000 Dinars

The Bank of Algeria issued a commemorative 2,000-dinar bank note Nov. 2, in recognition of the 31st Arab League Summit in Algiers held Nov. 1 and 2, as well as the country’s 60th anniversary of independence from France. Officially, the summit is called the 31st Ordinary Session of the Council of the League of Arab States at the Summit Level. The note is worth the equivalent of $14.54.

This was the fourth time Algiers has hosted the summit. Among the issues discussed were the current Cold War climate affecting the world and an ongoing food crisis facing the Arab states.

The theme of the vertically oriented face is “liberation and independence.” It includes decorative patterns, an image of a crowd during the national liberation movement, the monument to the martyrs, revolutionary leader Emir Abdelkader, the national flag, the logo of the Arab League Summit and a map of the Arab world.

The theme of the horizontal back is “the postcard of Algeria.” It includes natural rock arches in the Sahara Desert, Port Say beach, camels, Djamaa El-Djazair (the great mosque of Algiers), the Hoggar mountains, and the Roman ruins of Tipaza.

The 158- by 72-millimeter bank note is printed in shades of green, red, blue, and brown on the composite DuraSafe substrate. It has several security elements, including a watermark of the Emir Abdelkader, tactile mark patterns, a transparent window of the geographical map of Algeria, and a colored security thread.

Both versions of the new 2000 Dinar banknote carry a novel KURZ THREAD with KINEGRAM COLORS® Technology and the striking FLUX effect. The 4.5 mm wide security threads are embedded into the banknotes’ Durasafe® substrate from Swiss manufacturer Landqart, which offers the possibility of large-scale windows for optimized visibility of the security thread. The 2000 Dinar banknotes are equipped with a single big window, through which the bi-color green and silver KURZ THREAD can be observed.

The threads display a dynamic, eye-catching FLUX movement effect that enables straightforward and easy verification of the banknotes’ authenticity. Moreover, the years ‘1962’ and ‘2022’ are visible in negative microtext in the metallized areas of the thread. The green and silver colors harmonize with the banknote design and echo the colors of the Algerian national flag.
