阿联酋钱币从七个酋长国到现代迪拉姆

联邦成立前，特鲁西亚尔海岸的酋长国使用印度卢比和海湾卢比。卡塔尔与迪拜于1966年发行了自己的里亚尔系列——这一短暂的联合货币随着1971年12月2日阿联酋宣布成立而结束。

联邦的首批硬币于伊斯兰历1393年（1973年）出现：四种面额的青铜菲尔和一枚铜镍合金迪拉姆。该系列80年代保持稳定，1995年才迎来重大设计更新。如今，阿联酋的纪念币计划是海湾地区最活跃的之一。

The Trucial States — seven sheikhdoms along the Persian Gulf coast — used Indian currency until 1966, when Qatar & Dubai introduced a joint riyal series. That coinage lasted only until federation in 1971. The UAE's own currency launched in AH 1393 (1973) with a clean decimal system: 100 fils to the dirham. The bronze 1, 5, and 10 fils and the cupro-nickel 25 and 50 fils remained virtually unchanged for two decades. The 1 dirham, featuring the iconic jug motif, is one of the most recognized circulation coins in the Middle East. Since 1998, the UAE has issued dozens of commemorative dirhams — from the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix to Expo 2020 — making it one of the most actively collected modern series in Arabian numismatics.
