Tunisian duro

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The faces of a five millime or "duro" coin

The Tunisian duro is the nickname of the small silver coin that is part of the Tunisian currency.[1] It has originated from the Spanish word Duro (monetary unit), a nickname for the five peseta coin.

The value of the coin is five millimes or 0.005 of a Tunisian dinar, and is the smallest denomination currently being minted (smaller 1 and 2 millime coins are no longer issued).[2]
