Kuwait's third dinar series was introduced following the expiry of the 1961 Currency Law arrangements and issued under the Central Bank of Kuwait, which had only been formally established in 1969 — replacing the Kuwait Currency Board that had managed the dinar since independence. Bradbury Wilkinson handled the printing throughout, as they did for much of the Gulf region's paper currency during this period.
The series ran across more than a decade, ending when the fourth series was introduced in 1980–1982. Notes from the final years of issue are considerably harder to find in any circulated state, as the changeover was managed quickly and redemption rates were high.
