Tunisia's 30-dinar denomination is something of an oddity among North African issues — not a rounding of a standard series, but a deliberate mid-tier insertion designed to reduce demand pressure on both the 20 and 50-dinar notes then in circulation. The Banque de France facility at Chamalières handled production, as it did for much of Tunisia's paper currency through the 1990s, the Maghreb relationship with French security printing outlasting the political rupture of independence by several decades.
A print run just over twelve million is modest for a working denomination, and attrition in active circulation has made mid-grade survivors somewhat harder to locate than the print figure might suggest.
