How to distinguish the UAE Currency???



Experience:

The first amount that I spend in Dubai was 10 DHS which was given by my sister. Sa una di mo alam kung paano mo gagastusin ang pera dahil hindi mo nga alam kung magkano ang halaga nito kapag binili mo. Actually when you will try to convert it in Philippine Peso the 10dhs will have na amount of  P120 quiet enough to buy 1day of your food in the Philippines.

We went to supermarket to buy something to cook for dinner. We roam around the store and check for the vegetables and meat. I noticed the price tag of the products that they are selling. One plastic of four bread is 1.50 dhs cheap right? but when you convert it to the Philippine money you can buy 3 plastic of it.
