The UAE's shift to polymer for the 100 Dirham denomination follows a broader Gulf-region move toward substrate modernization, though the Emirates had maintained cotton-paper issues for this value far longer than some neighboring central banks. Polymer adoption at this denomination level is a deliberate choice — high-value, high-frequency notes take the most abuse in circulation, and the substrate change is driven by durability data rather than aesthetics.
Pick 40 is recent enough that secondary-market pricing remains unsettled.
