The United Arab Emirates Dirham was introduced in 1973 to replace the Gulf Rupee used by countries such as Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and Oman. The old Gulf Rupee had an identical appearance to the Indian Rupee. The current series of UAE banknotes consist of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1000 Dirhams. The banknotes are colored in bright and vibrant colors and traditional Arabic motifs. Interestingly none of the Dirhams feature images of any UAE rulers. Instead they feature images of religious sites, national monuments, ships, falcons and other notable buildings. The UAE national coat of arms are also found on banknotes as well as up to date security features.
