The sanctions from the final follow on from Algeria's football federation (Faf) being fined a total of $100,000 last week for six breaches of Caf regulations during the side's Afcon quarter-final exit at the hands of Nigeria.
Half of that sum was for "offensive and abusive gestures committed by its supporters" towards the match officials, including displaying banknotes.
Faf was also fined $25,000 for the "inappropriate behaviour" of its players and officials at the end of the match, which the Fennecs lost 2-0.
Algeria goalkeeper Luca Zidane has been banned for two games for misconduct, while right-back Rafik Belghali has received a four-game ban - with two games suspended for 12 months - for "aggressive and intimidating behaviour towards the match referee" after the full-time whistle.
The further Faf fines are $10,000 for failing to comply with security measures and three separate fines of $5,000 for throwing of objects by supporters, the use of smoke devices by fans and for receiving five yellow cards during the game in Marrakech.
