Algerian Dinar (DZD) to USD — Algeria Parallel Market Rate
By the ETCurrency rates deskUpdated hourly from P2P & exchange-market dataHow we calculate rates
As of October 12, 2026, one US dollar costs about 253 DZD on the Algeria parallel market, so the Algerian Dinar is worth roughly $0.00395 each. In practical terms, 1,000 DZD ≈ $3.95 and 100,000 DZD ≈ $395.37 at the street rate, versus the official Bank of Algeria rate of about 135 DZD per dollar.
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?
Because the parallel market prices the dollar at about 253 DZD, you divide any Algerian Dinar amount by that figure to get its dollar value. For example, 10,000 DZD ≈ $39.54, 50,000 DZD ≈ $197.68, and 1,000,000 DZD ≈ $3,954. At the official rate the same Algerian Dinar would convert to slightly more dollars on paper — but only if you can actually access dollars at that rate.
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.
Today that difference is an extreme premium of roughly 90.8%. The larger this gap, the more the official rate overstates what your Algerian Dinar is really worth in dollars.
