Addis Ababa, March 28, 2025 (FMC) – The UAE Central Bank has officially launched a new 100-dirham polymer banknote, showcasing cutting-edge security features and innovative designs, as reported by Sada El-Balad, a partner of TV BRICS.
This release is part of the third issuance of the UAE’s national currency, aligning with the nation’s commitment to sustainability and its ambitious development vision.
The new banknote maintains the red colour gradients of the existing design for ease of recognition but incorporates advanced printing techniques, including intaglio, embossed, and surface printing.
Made from polymer, the new banknote offers twice the durability of traditional paper currency, supporting sustainability goals with its longer lifespan and reduced environmental impact, the source claims.
The new 100-dirham banknote will circulate alongside the existing version starting from 24 March 2025.
