Algerian Dinar (DZD) to USD — Algeria Parallel Market Rate
By the ETCurrency rates deskUpdated hourly from P2P & exchange-market dataHow we calculate rates
This page shows how much the Algerian Dinar (DZD) is worth in US dollars at Algeria's parallel — or "black market" — exchange rate, updated through the day. It is the reverse of our USD to DZD page and reflects what your Algerian Dinar actually fetches in dollars on the street.
Algerians routinely buy euros and dollars at the "Square" street market in Algiers, often well above the official rate.
How much is the Algerian Dinar worth in US dollars today?
To convert Algerian Dinar into dollars you divide the amount by the number of DZD it takes to buy one dollar. When the parallel rate is weaker than the official one, each Algerian Dinar buys fewer real dollars than the headline official rate implies.
This is why the parallel rate matters for anyone holding Algerian Dinar: it shows the real, market-clearing dollar value rather than an official rate that may be hard to obtain.
Why the DZD to USD street rate differs from the bank
When you convert Algerian Dinar to dollars at a bank, you get the official Bank of Algeria rate — if dollars are available. On the parallel market the dollar is dearer, driven by factors such as tight import and currency controls, hydrocarbon-revenue dependence, restricted official dollar access, so each Algerian Dinar fetches fewer dollars there.
The larger the gap between the two rates, the more the official rate overstates what your Algerian Dinar is really worth in dollars.
