The dinar or denar is a main currency unit in modern circulation in nine mostly-Islamic countries, and has historic use in several more. ==History== The English word "dinar" is the transliteration of the Arabic دينار (''dīnār''), which was borrowed via the Syriac ''dīnarā'' from the Greek δηνάριον (''denárion''), itself from the Latin ''dēnārius''.〔Oxford English Dictionary, Second edition, 1989, ''s.v.'' ''dinar''; online version November 2010〕 The gold dinar was an early Islamic coin corresponding to the Byzantine ''denarius auri''. A gold coin known as the ''dīnāra'' was also introduced to India by the Kushan Empire in the 1st century AD, and adopted by the Gupta Empire and its successors up to the 6th century. The modern gold dinar is a modern bullion gold coin. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dinar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
