Sudan's 2003 coinage came during a period of severe monetary strain, with the country managing the tail end of a currency reform begun in 1992 that had redenominated the Sudanese pound into the dinar at a rate of 10:1. By 2003, inflation had eroded the dinar badly enough that a 5-dinar coin held negligible purchasing power, and this series was itself rendered obsolete when Sudan reintroduced the pound in 2007, wiping out the entire dinar coinage with another redenomination.
