This cupro-nickel coin turns 43 today and in celebration we thought we’d remind you of just how many cool things you can get for under one D. But first, we might as well give you a bit of a history lesson\u00a0and tell you a few things you probably didn’t\u00a0know about the Dirham.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The History behind the Dirham…<\/h3>\n

It gets its name from the Greek word \u2018Drachmae\u2019 which means handful\u00a0and was only introduced in 1973. Before that, all the emirates used the Gulf Rupee as their official currency. And ever wondered what that pot-shaped emblem on it is? It represents the Dallah (Arabic coffee pot) which is a symbol of Arabian hospitality. It should explain why coffee, among other gestures, is a customary part of Arab-hosted gatherings.<\/p>\n

So now that\u00a0you tend to dismiss this spare change as clutter in your wallets, they actually fetch you quite a few things.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what you can get for a Dirham (or less) today.\u00a0<\/h3>\n

(Disclaimer: price points vary at different\u00a0supermarkets)\u00a0<\/p>\n

1. A pack of Tiffany Creams<\/h3>\n
