About UAE Dirham
The UAE Dirham (AED) is the official currency of the United Arab Emirates, introduced in 1973 to replace the Qatar and Dubai Riyal. It has been pegged to the US Dollar at a fixed rate of 3.6725 AED per USD since 1997, providing exceptional monetary stability. The UAE's oil-driven economy and status as a global financial hub - particularly Dubai and Abu Dhabi - make the dirham one of the most stable currencies in the Arab world. The word "dirham" derives from the ancient Greek "drachma". Banknotes feature landmarks such as the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and the Burj Khalifa.
About US Dollar
The US Dollar (USD) is the world's primary reserve currency, used in approximately 88% of all foreign exchange transactions globally. Introduced in 1792 with the Coinage Act, the dollar became the cornerstone of the international monetary system under the 1944 Bretton Woods Agreement. Even after the gold standard was abandoned in 1971, the dollar maintained its dominant status - oil and most global commodities are priced in dollars, and major sovereign debt is primarily denominated in USD. The Federal Reserve System (Fed) manages US monetary policy.
