Frequently asked questions
What is the US dollar rate in Libya today?
The dollar rate shown here is the parallel-market (black-market) rate in Tripoli and Benghazi, in Libyan dinars per US dollar. The figures at the top of the page update continuously to reflect the latest available rate.
What is the dollar exchange rate against the Libyan dinar?
The dollar exchange rate is the number of Libyan dinars needed to buy one US dollar. This page shows the parallel-market rate because it is the rate actually used in most day-to-day transactions, and it usually differs from the Central Bank's official rate.
What is the difference between the official rate and the parallel-market rate?
The official rate is set by the Central Bank of Libya and is used in formal banking channels. The parallel-market rate, also called the black-market rate, is what money changers and individuals trade at every day, and it often differs from the official rate. Prices.ly focuses on parallel-market rates because they are the most widely used in daily dealings.
What are Wahda cheques and why is their rate different?
Wahda cheques are bank cheques traded on the Libyan market at their own exchange rate, which often differs from the cash dollar rate because of liquidity and demand. Wahda cheque rates for Tripoli and Benghazi are listed in the dollar details.
How often are the rates updated?
Rates update whenever new data arrives from the source, and the time of the last update is shown below the rate cards. You can also tap Refresh to fetch the latest figures immediately.
How do I get an alert when the rate changes?
Tap Enable alerts and allow notifications in your browser. When the dollar, euro or gold price changes noticeably, you get a notification even if the page is closed, provided your browser supports push notifications.
What is the difference between 18k and 21k gold?
18-karat gold is about 75% pure, while 21-karat gold is purer (about 87.5%), so its price per gram is higher. We show the price per gram for 18k and 21k gold, plus worked gold when available.
