Do you know what banknotes look like in Arab countries? A guide

Arab currency notes reflect the nations in which they originate via symbols and quotes printed on them.

From Lebanon to Egypt and Saudi Arabia, every country's banknote tells a story and is unique in its own right. 

If you've ever wondered what different money notes look like across the Arab world, wonder no more because we've got them for you. 

Take a look: 

All series of Saudi Arabia's currency notes, the riyal, feature images of members of the monarchy who have ruled the kingdom.

There are money notes for a quarter, half, one, five, 10, and 20 dinars in Kuwait. 

Each features a symbol of the country including the falcon, camels, the towers of Kuwait, the Grand Mosque, Liberation tower, the national assembly building, and the Kuwaiti Central Bank. 

Ranging from five to 1,000 dirhams, the UAE's banknotes have constantly been changing and advancing with time, but they always feature symbols of the country.

Omani riyal banknotes all feature images of the late Sultan Qaboos and have symbols of the Gulf nation on their reverse. 

The dinar is Bahrain's official currency and several of its banknotes feature the kingdom's monarch Sheikh Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa. 

Other of the notes also have images of some of the country's major buildings and symbols printed on them. These include Bahrain's Old Court, the country's first school, Al Hedya Al Khalifiya, and Al Fateh Islamic Center.

These symbols include native birds, Al Shabab Institute, The Pearl Oyster Monument, sand dunes, the falcon, and the Qatari National Museum.  

The Egyptian pound (Geneh) banknotes have had several updates but always feature tributes to the country's rich history.

Current notes of the Lebanese pound have the value in Arabic script numerals printed on them on one side and the same numbers printed in French on the other. 

Ranging from one to 50 dinars, each Jordanian banknote features the image of a royal who once ruled the country on its obverse, starting from King Hussein bin Ali to the kingdom's current ruler Abdullah bin al-Hussein II. 

An image representing one of the country's most celebrated monuments is printed on each note's reverse. These include Dome of the Rock and Raghadan Palace. 

Back in 2010, the Central Bank of Syria issued a new series of banknotes. 

The Syrian pound notes range from 50 to 2,000 and have a range of the country's most important monuments printed on them. The 2,000 pound didn't exist before 2017 and has only been in use in the past three years. It features current President Bashar al-Assad's image.

Palestine has no official banknote today and Palestinians are forced to use either the currency of the occupying state (shekel) or Jordanian dinars. 

This hasn't stopped designers like Jehad Naji to imagine what a national currency would look like today. The notes above were featured among a collection the artist designed. 

They feature iconic Palestinian figures and monuments that powerfully tell the story of the country's beautiful history.
