Khaleeji (currency)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Khaleeji (Arabic: خليجي) is a proposed unified currency of the member states of the GCC or Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf.
The term 'Khaleeji' is arabic for "of the gulf", and is traditionally associated with the Arab states of the Persian Gulf.
The currency, when adopted as planned in 2010, will be sole legal tender in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. Oman has stated it will not be able to adopt the khaleeji at the onset. In addition, Yemen is slated to join the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) by 2016, although it will not adopt anytime soon.
