\nThe Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE) has launched a new Dh100 polymer banknote featuring enhanced security elements and designs that reflect the nation\u2019s heritage and future aspirations.
\nAnnounced on Monday, just ahead of the Eidul Fitr break, the new note will enter circulation from March 24 alongside the existing Dh100 banknotes.
\nThe launch is part of the Third Issuance of the National Currency Project, with the new banknote incorporating the Um Al Quwain National Fort on the front and the Port of Fujairah and Etihad Rail on the reverse. The note maintains the red colour tones of the existing Dh100 to aid public recognition.
\n\u201cThe new 100 dirham banknote reflects our commitment to the leadership\u2019s vision for a sustainable future through initiatives and achievements that support Net Zero and enhance the nation\u2019s financial competitiveness,\u201d said Khaled Mohamed Balama, Governor of the CBUAE.
\nHe added, \u201cIts design embodies the country\u2019s ambitious aspirations for future progress and prosperity while honouring its historical and cultural heritage.
\nWe are pleased to announce this special issue in conjunction with the Eidul Fitr celebrations.\u201d
\nThe polymer material is more durable and environmentally friendly than traditional paper, offering a lifespan more than twice as long.
\nIn line with inclusive design, the note also features Braille symbols to support the visually impaired in identifying its value.
\nBanks and exchange houses across the country have been instructed to update their cash machines and counting devices to accept the new notes.
\nCBUAE has previously won the \u2018Best New Banknote\u2019 award at the High-Security Printing EMEA conferences in 2023 and 2025 for its Dh500 and Dh1,000 polymer notes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
