About Bahraini Dinar (.د.ب)
The Bahraini Dinar (BHD, ISO 4217 code 048, symbol .د.ب or BD) is the official currency of the Kingdom of Bahrain, issued by the Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB, est. 2006 as successor to Bahrain Monetary Agency est. 1973). Subdivided into 1,000 fils (one of only a handful of currencies subdivided into thousandths rather than hundredths). Banknotes: ½ BD, 1 BD, 5 BD, 10 BD, 20 BD (the highest denomination; current 5th series introduced 2008 features traditional Bahraini themes — Bahrain World Trade Center, pearl-diving heritage, Bahraini International Circuit, Tree of Life); coins: 5 fils, 10 fils, 25 fils, 50 fils, 100 fils, 500 fils. BHD is pegged to USD at BD0.376 per USD (or USD2.66 per BD) since December 1980 — making BHD the world's 2nd-highest-valued circulating currency by face value (after KWD). Bahrain is the smallest Gulf state by area (~780 km²) but a major banking/finance regional center hosting ~400 financial institutions. Oil + gas account for ~70% of Bahraini government revenue but only ~18% of GDP (more diversified than other Gulf economies).

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).
