The Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates released a new 5 dirham banknote made of polymer and enhanced by advanced technical characteristics and security features. The new banknotes are the third issue of the national currency and reflect the CBUAE’s aim to keep pace with the nation’s development and vision in the next fifty years, particularly in the financial and economic sectors.

The banknote includes a transparent window featuring a portrait of the late founding father, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, and the logo of the UAE nation brand with fluorescent drawings and inscriptions created using advanced intaglio printing techniques.

The new AED 5 banknote will retain the same brown color to make it easier for the public to identify them. It will have images of the Ajman Fort, which bears witness to the cultural and historical legacy of the UAE’s forefathers, on the front center and Ras Al Khaimah's Dhayah Fort on the reverse side.
