Currency Today : Morocco 04

The 2012 banknote set of Morocco, continues with the 100 dirham note.

For this note, the theme is 'Sahara' - clearly visible at the reverse side of the banknote, where we find the Moussem Tan Tan and a Moroccan tent. Every year, since 1963, the city of Tan Tan organizes a festival, and a fair where traditional Berber tribes gather.

The crown as security feature is gold again, and shifts colour, this is also the case on the 200 dirham note.

The 4th and last note in this series, is the 200 dirham note.
Where the brown colour of the 100 dirham represents the dessert, the blue on the 200 dirham note, symbolizes the sea. A stylized view of the Tangier-Med port and the Cape Spartel lighthouse in Tangier is on the reverse side of the note.
