UAE Launches New AED100 Note

The Central Bank of the UAE has launched a new AED100 banknote.

The new AED100 banknote is part of the CBUAE’s Third Issuance of the National Currency Project.

Its design highlights the UAE’s success story, featuring cultural and developmental symbols that illustrate the nation’s journey to becoming a global economic and commercial hub, connecting continents.

The distinctive red note maintains the colour characteristics of the current denomination to make it easy to recognise.

The front of the new banknote features the Um Al Quwain National Fort, a historical and cultural monument. This fort also serves as a national attraction, bridging the past with the present.

The reverse side features Port of Fujairah, one of the country’s largest ports and a major shipping and maritime transport centre.

Additionally, it showcases the Etihad Rail, a railway network that connects the seven Emirates and extends to the Gulf Cooperation Council countries.

The Etihad Rail plays a pivotal role in strengthening social ties and supporting sustainable economic development through its integrated infrastructure and logistics.

The AED100 banknote incorporates advanced security features that include modern technologies.

The polymer banknotes are more durable and sustainable than traditional paper banknotes, lasting two or more times longer in circulation. 

In this issue, the CBUAE maintained its consideration of all banknote users by adding prominent symbols in Braille to help blind and visually impaired consumers to identify the banknote’s value.

The new banknote will be in circulation with the existing AED100 note, starting Monday, March 24, 2025.

All banks and exchange houses are instructed to programme their cash deposit machines and counting devices to ensure seamless acceptance of this new banknotes alongside existing paper and polymer banknotes, whose value is guaranteed by law.
