+ ## 🏛️ Source
193
+
194
+ The Central Bank of Tunisia publishes daily interbank average dinar rates for about 20 currencies — the official reference Tunisian businesses, customs and banks use. The archive reaches back to 2004, and the bulletin also carries banknote and forward rates.
195
+
196
+ - Publisher's own page: [Cours de change](https://www.bct.gov.tn/bct/siteprod/cours.jsp) · [www.bct.gov.tn](https://www.bct.gov.tn)
197
+ - Publication: every business day; the exact schedule, freshness status and any current delay are on the [Central Bank of Tunisia rates page](https://allratestoday.com/central-bank-rates-api/bct/)
198
+ - Values are stored unmodified, with the publisher's own `rate_date` on every row — see the [methodology](https://allratestoday.com/official-rates-methodology/)
199
+
200
+ ## 🧭 Reading the numbers
201
+
202
+ - `value` is always **quote currency per 1 unit of base currency** (`base: "EUR", quote: "USD", value: 1.15` means 1 EUR = 1.15 USD).
203
+ - Central Bank of Tunisia quotes **TND per 1 unit of foreign currency** (e.g. `base: "USD", quote: "TND"` means TND per one US dollar).
204
+ - Need the other way round? Ask `getRate(target, source)` and the API inverts or crosses for you, flagged `derived: true` — never divide a published rate yourself in a compliance workflow.
205
+ - `rate_type` tells you which of the central bank's series a row belongs to (`reference` here); some publishers print buy/sell or several fixings for the same pair.
