Oberthur's Rennes facility has printed Tunisian currency for decades, and this 2022 issue continues that relationship — one of the longer-standing printer-client arrangements in North African note production. The 5 Dinar denomination has historically functioned as a workhorse unit in everyday Tunisian commerce, keeping it in active circulation rather than sitting in collections.
Pick 98 slots into a broader BCT series refresh that followed years of economic turbulence tied to post-revolution political instability and IMF negotiations throughout the 2010s. Cotton substrate with watermark and thread security is modest by current standards, but the denomination's low face value limits the economic incentive for sophisticated counterfeiting.
