The Central Bank of Kuwait controls all monetary policy and circulation issues with regard to the KWD. Each dinar can be subdivided in 1/100th dinar units known as "fils". The current coins in circulation denominated as KWD are valued at 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 fils. The paper banknotes in circulation denominated in KWD are valued at ¼, ½, 1, 5, 10, and 20 dinars.
The KWD has undergone several revisions of circulation and issuance over the past several decades. The most recent was the emergency printing of the KWD on Kuwaiti's liberation from Iraq, with a current series, known as the fifth series KWD, being issued in 1994. All series and issues prior to 1994 are no longer legal tender due to the vast amount that was stolen by Iraq during their occupation. This 1994 issue is in use to this day and incorporates many advanced security features not found in previous series.
From 1975 through 2003 the KWD was set in valuation to a fixed basket of currencies. From 2003-2007 that fix was transferred to a United States dollar (USD) peg. Currently the KWD has been pegged again to a basket of currencies, though a different basket than the one from 1975-2003.
