This is the latest of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) 500 Dirhams Hybrid note printed with the year date of 2015. This note replaced the previous similar note issued dated 2011. The design of this new note is the same as the 2011 print but with minor changes such as new signature, six horizontal tactile lines added on both sides of the edges to assist those with visually impaired. The vertical serial number on the left has also shifted away from the edge to accommodate those horizontal tactile lines. The colour of the omron rings aka champagne bubbles or donuts (whatever you want to call it) have also been modified to make it more obvious to the naked eyes.
