UAE National Day: New Dh1,000 currency note with special design unveiled

The UAE’s global achievements in space and sustainable energy are highlighted in a new note. As part of the country’s 51st National Day celebrations, the UAE Central Bank introduced a new Dh1,000 currency note on Friday.
The banknote, made of polymer and featuring revolutionary designs and improved security measures, is the fourth in the Third Issuance of the National Currency Project, according to the Central Bank.
This dream was also reflected in the image of an astronaut added as a security mark that appears on both sides of the banknote, to express the arrival of the first Emirati astronaut to the space.
The Central Bank was also keen to focus on another global achievement for the UAE, by placing an image of the Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant in Abu Dhabi on the reverse. The plant will play a key role in diversifying energy sources in the country and reduce carbon emissions.
The design of this new banknote contains distinctive aesthetic characteristics, with different shades of brown. The CBUAE preserved the colour characteristics of the same denomination banknote currently in circulation to make it easy for the public to identify, in addition to the fluorescent blue marks of the UAE nation brand in the centre, and drawings and inscriptions created using advanced intaglio printing techniques.
“The issuance of the new Dh1,000 banknote comes under the vision of UAE’s President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan to keep-up with the comprehensive development our country is witnessing, and represent UAE’s global achievements and successes, as well as highlight its future ambitions in various sectors,” said Khaled Mohamed Balama, Governor of the CBUAE.
