ALGIERS, Aug 17 (Reuters) - Algeria's currency has slipped to a record low against the U.S. dollar, a central bank source said Monday, as falling crude prices more than halved vital oil revenues.
The dinar slumped to 105.84 to the dollar and 117.48 to the euro, according to the source. The dinar was estimated at 79.6 to the dollar in 2014.
