Old banknotes and historical evolution

Prior to Yemen's unification in 1990, there were two different monetary systems: the North and the South. North Yemen used the Yemeni rial, while South Yemen used the dinar. After unification, the rial was adopted as the single currency. Old banknotes from both regions are now collector's items highly prized by numismatists. An important milestone in Yemeni notafilia was the introduction of the 1000 rial bill in 2017, which represented the highest denomination to date.
