The dinar (, , ISO 4217 currency code: "TND") is the currency of Tunisia. It is subdivided into 1000 milim or millimes (). The abbreviation "DT" is often used in Tunisia, although writing "dinar" after the amount is also acceptable (TND is less colloquial, and tends to be used more in financial circles); the abbreviation "TD" is also mentioned in a few places, but is less frequently used, given the common use of the French language in Tunisia, and the French derivation of "DT" (i.e., "").
Human rights in Tunisia
In January of 2018, Prime Minister Youssef Chahed publicly supported the creation of a draft to criminalize racism by adding to Article 21, 25, 47 or creating an entirely new law. Several events prior to this announcement pushed the Prime Minister to support the cause. Civil rights activist credit a girl name Sabrina for starting the talk about the creation of the law. In early 2016, Sabrina was verbally abused with racial insults on the street and reported the incident to the police. However, because of the lack of laws prohibiting it, the police could do nothing about it. . The event did little more than spark interest but on Christmas Eve 2016 a racial knife attack on three black students in a train station which left them all wounded provided more reason for people to demand a law from the government . The drafting of the law started shortly after. On October 9, 2018, Tunias’s Parlement passed a law called “Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination” Act. Under the new law, discrimination is described as "any distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, color, ancestry" or other discrimination that lead to "disturbances, an obstruction or privation." Breaking the law can result in a fine up to 1000 dollar fine and up to three years in prison. Messaoud Romdhani, head of the Tunisian Forum for Economic and Social Rights, compared the passing of the law equivalent in value to the abolition of slavery in improving the country and daily lives of its citizens.
