Dirham is the national currency of the United Arab Emirates. One dirham is equal to one hundred fils. The Arab Dirham was put into circulation in 1973 after the United Arab Emirates have gained its independence. At the moment, the Arab Dirham is represented by bills of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1000 dirhams, each in color (brown, green, blue, purple, pink, brown, dark blue, respectively) and design. The text on the obverse of the banknote is written in Arabic. The inscription on the reverse side is in English. The exchange rate of a dirham compared to a US dollar is always fixed, i.e., the dirham is tied to the US dollar.
Banknotes of different denominations have the unique design and contain images of Arab attractions (mosques, a farm, a traditional marine vessel, the coastal zone of Abu Dhabi, the Central Bank, Dubai World Trade Center, etc.)
Dirham is used in both Dubai and the UAE as a whole. The currency in the United Arab Emirates and all issues related to it are regulated by the Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates. The Central Bank of the UAE was founded in 1973. The board of the bank consists of the Board of Directors and senior management. The Central Bank has branches in Dubai, El Fujayre, El Ain, Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah.
The main responsibility of the Central Bank of the UAE is the management of banks, foreign exchange policy, as well as the balanced growth of the UAE's national economy. The central bank is also obliged to keep the fixed exchange rate of the dirham to the US dollar, ensuring its free conversion to other national currencies.
