Displaying a rather interesting denomination, the undated 1/4 Dinar banknote from LIBYA in North Africa was first issued in 2002. The banknote's obverse (front) side centrally shows the Arch of Tiberius, located in the Leptis Magna ancient Roman city. The arch and UNESCO-designated site (↗) are found near the Mediterranean Sea coast of Libya in Al Khums (Khoms) city. Palm trees and fortified walls grace the banknote's reverse (back) side, illustrating the Murzuq Fortress in southwestern Libya. One Libyan Dinar equals 1000 Dirhams, and the ISO 4217 currency code is LYD. Other countries using the Dinar currency are as follows: Algeria, Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Macedonia (Denar), Serbia, and Tunisia. Basic geographic facts about Libya can be found on GeoFact of the Day (↗).
