Currency and Coins
On this Page
In 1973, the UAE Currency Board issued the nation’s first banknotes. In 1982, the Central Bank of the UAE released a second issue of UAE paper currency, following the transition from the UAE Currency Board to the CBUAE, instituted by Union Law No. (10) of 1980.
As a result of this transition, the current CBUAE banknotes - which are familiar to us today - replaced the previous issue of UAE Currency Board notes. Â
Â
Alongside currency used for everyday transactions, the CBUAE also mints commemorative coins to celebrate the many highlights and achievements of the United Arab Emirates. Â
Â
Government entities, banks and the CBUAE are all entitled to request that an important occasion be marked by issuing a commemorative gold, silver or circulation coin.Â
