Darfur Coins

Darfur' s monetary history is relatively recent and is closely linked to political and social developments in the region. Since its incorporation into Sudan in 1916, Darfur has used the Sudanese pound as its official currency, although its use and circulation have been subject to various challenges due to conflict and instability in the area.

Currency used in Darfur

The Sudanese pound has been the main currency in Darfur since Sudan's independence in 1956. However, due to civil war and internal conflicts, cash circulation in the region has often been limited. In some areas, especially during periods of heightened instability, bartering or the use of foreign currencies such as the U.S. dollar or euro has been resorted to for transactions.

Numismatic milestones in Darfur

One of the most significant events in Darfur's recent numismatic history was the introduction of the new Sudanese pound in 2007, which replaced the old currency at a ratio of 1:100. This change affected the entire region, including Darfur. In addition, in 2011, following the independence of South Sudan, a new series of banknotes and coins were issued for Sudan, which also circulated in Darfur. However, due to continued instability in the region, the distribution and use of these new issues has been irregular in many parts of Darfur.
