| Comments |
The UAE's cotton-paper 100 Dirham series was produced during a transitional period for the Central Bank, which had been quietly modernizing its security infrastructure throughout the 2010s. This particular issue ran alongside the bank's gradual shift toward polymer substrates for lower denominations, making it one of the last high-value UAE notes to stay on cotton paper for an extended print run.
Pick 30 is sometimes confused with the earlier P#29 series due to overlapping date ranges in dealer listings — the distinction lies in the security thread specification and subtle color register changes introduced in 2012.
