| Additional information |
Algeria's dinar coinage has undergone repeated compositional changes since the 1990s as the central bank navigated import costs and metal price volatility. The shift to AISI 430 ferritic stainless steel — a grade commonly used in industrial applications for its corrosion resistance and low nickel content — reflects a broader regional trend among North African mints toward cheaper, more durable alloys. AISI 430 is notably magnetic, which aids automated sorting in modern cash-handling infrastructure.
