About UAE Dirham (د.إ)
The United Arab Emirates Dirham (AED, ISO 4217 code 784, symbol د.إ or DH) is the official currency of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), issued by the Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE, est. 1980). Subdivided into 100 fils. Banknotes: AED5, AED10, AED20, AED50, AED100, AED200, AED500, AED1000 (the highest denomination; current series features UAE landmarks — Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Burj Al Arab, Dubai Frame, Etihad Towers, Sharjah Central Souk, Khalifa Tower); coins: 25 fils, 50 fils, AED1. AED is pegged to USD at AED3.6725 per USD since November 1997 (a hard peg via the CBUAE Currency Board mechanism). UAE is the Gulf region's most economically diversified economy — Dubai is a major global financial center (DIFC) and trade hub, Abu Dhabi holds ~95% of UAE oil reserves (the world's 7th-largest proven reserves at ~98 billion barrels per BP Statistical Review). The UAE Dirham was introduced 1973, replacing the Bahraini Dinar (in Abu Dhabi) and Qatar + Dubai Riyal (in other emirates) after the UAE federation formed 1971.
About Nigerian Naira (₦)
The Nigerian Naira (NGN, ISO 4217 code 566, symbol ₦) is the official currency of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, issued by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN, est. 1958). Subdivided into 100 kobo. Banknotes: ₦5, ₦10, ₦20, ₦50, ₦100, ₦200, ₦500, ₦1,000 (the highest denomination; current series features Nigerian historical figures including Sir Tafawa Balewa, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, and includes the famously short-lived redesigned 2022 series); coins are rarely used in daily transactions. CBN announced a 'currency redesign' in October 2022 (new ₦200, ₦500, ₦1,000 banknotes) requiring withdrawal of old notes — implementation was chaotic, with widespread cash shortages in early 2023 contributing to election-period unrest. Nigeria is Africa's largest economy by nominal GDP (~$390B in 2024 per IMF WEO) and the world's 13th-largest oil producer (~1.4 million bpd). CBN abandoned the formal peg to USD in June 2023 under the new Bola Tinubu administration, unifying the official and parallel rates — naira depreciated ~70% in 12 months. Inflation reached 33%+ in 2024.
