The UAE Central Bank is planning to have currency notes with Braille characters, according to a report in Al Ittihad Arabic daily.
The Board of Directors of the Central Bank studied sample notes at a meeting and directed officials to take necessary steps to implement it.
The decision follows the quick response of Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, UAE Foreign Minister, to a tweet by an Emirati woman, who requested currency notes with Braille alphabets to help the visually impaired.
The board discussed other topics such as the new banking law currently being developed by the Central Bank. The board asked for some amendments before submission of the draft law to the Cabinet.
