Special Edition coins

Growing up in the UAE, I used to collect special edition 1 dirham coins. The usual print on a 1 dirham coin in the UAE is a picture of a traditional Arabic coffee pot called a Dallah. But during special occasions within the country, the national bank issues a limited collection of these special edition coins which are put in circulation for public use. These are usually pretty hard to find, but I was able to collect about 8-10 of these unique coins and I'm still on the lookout for more whenever I go back home to visit my dad who works there.
