What is UAE Dirham (AED)

The UAE Dirham (AED) is the official currency of the United Arab Emirates. It is further subdivided into 100 fils. The currency symbol for the Dirham is often represented as "DH" or "د.إ" in Arabic. Introduced in 1973, the Dirham was designed to stabilize the economy and reflect the growing wealth entering the UAE due to oil exports and tourism.

The value of the Dirham is pegged to the US Dollar, meaning that the exchange rate remains stable. This peg helps provide a level of predictability for businesses and travelers.

The UAE Dirham is used throughout the seven emirates, including Abu Dhabi and Dubai, making it an essential currency for both locals and tourists. As tourism continues to grow, the Dirham has become increasingly significant in international transactions.

What is Aruba Florin (AWG)

The Aruba Florin (AWG) is the official currency of Aruba, a small island located in the Caribbean Sea. The Florin is subdivided into 100 cents and is represented by the symbol "Afl." or "ƒ." The Aruba Florin was introduced in 1986, replacing the Dutch Guilder at a rate of 1 Guilder to 1.79 Florin.

Unlike the AED, the value of the Aruba Florin fluctuates based on international market conditions. As of October 2023, the exchange rate for the Aruba Florin is approximately 1 AWG = 0.56 USD.

The large influx of visitors has promoted the use of the Florin, making it essential for trade and tourism-related services on the island. The currency is often accepted in US dollars in some establishments, which adds to its practicality for travelers.
