What is the currency of the United Arab Emirates ?
Dirham
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a federation of seven emirates on the Arabian Peninsula, with Abu Dhabi as its capital. Its official currency is the UAE Dirham (ISO code AED), issued by the Central Bank of the UAE and divided into 100 fils.
The dirham was introduced in 1973, replacing the Qatar and Dubai riyal and the Bahraini dinar that had circulated in the emirates, and it has been pegged to the US dollar since 1997.
The riyal is the currency of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Oman (rial); the taka is the currency of Bangladesh; and the dinar is used in Kuwait, Bahrain, Iraq and Jordan. Since the UAE currency appears among the choices, 'None of the above' does not apply.
Dirham option is correct.
