On 3 November 1958, banknotes were introduced by the Central Bank of Tunisia in denominations of , 1 and 5 dinars. The designs of these denominations were changed with a series of notes dated 1-6-1965, but issued on 3 March 1966. A 10-dinar note dated 1-6-1969 was issued on 2 January 1970.

Tunisians sometimes do not use the main division, dinar, when mentioning prices of goods. Accordingly, one dinar and a half, is often referred to as "khomstach en miya" (literally fifteen hundred). This applies to all prices below 2 dinars. 50 dinar is often referred to as "khamsin alf" (fifty thousand). This convention is used even for higher prices, for example 70,000 dinars would be called "sab'in maliun" (seventy million). "Francs" is also still heard from time to time, 1000 of them colloquially representing a single dinar.
