About Sudan banknotes

Sudan used the pound until 1992, when the dinar replaced it at ten to one. In 2007 a new pound replaced the dinar at 100 to one. After South Sudan became independent in 2011 both countries issued new notes. Since the war that began in 2023, Sudan has issued new high-value notes.
