The Qatari Riyal (QAR) is the official currency of Qatar, issued by the Qatar Central Bank.
The modern series showcases the nation’s rapid development, cultural heritage, and architectural achievements, featuring landmarks such as the Museum of Islamic Art, the National Library, and iconic coastal and desert landscapes.
Current notes incorporate advanced security features, crisp colour palettes, and durable materials designed for long‑term circulation in Qatar’s hot climate.
These designs remain the primary legal tender across the country and are widely recognised throughout the Gulf region.

Before the introduction of the current enhanced‑security series, Qatar issued several earlier generations of Riyal banknotes.
These withdrawn notes include classic paper issues, older portraits, traditional engraving styles, and designs reflecting Qatar’s economic transformation from a pearl‑diving nation to a global energy powerhouse.
As the Qatar Central Bank modernised the currency, older issues were gradually replaced with clearer layouts, stronger security features, and more durable materials.
Although no longer used in everyday transactions, earlier Qatari Riyal notes still appear in stored belongings, travel documents, and long‑kept personal items.
At Thecurrencycounter.co.uk, we accept a wide range of outdated Qatari Riyal notes, including early paper issues, transitional designs, and denominations no longer seen in circulation.
