Which currency of the United Arab Emirates is divided into 100 fils?

The currency of the United Arab Emirates that is divided into 100 fils is the United Arab Emirates dirham.

The dirham became the UAE’s official currency in 1973, replacing the Qatar and Dubai riyal in the emirates that had used it. Abu Dhabi had previously used the Bahraini dinar, so the dirham helped establish a single national monetary system after the UAE was formed in 1971.

The word dirham has ancient Greek and Arabic connections and is also used by currencies in Morocco and elsewhere. These currencies share a historical name but are not interchangeable.

The UAE dirham is commonly abbreviated AED and is pegged to the United States dollar. One dirham contains 100 fils, with coins issued in several fils denominations and banknotes carrying Arabic and English text.
