Fun facts about the VUV
- Did you know that before 1981, Vanuatu used the Australian Dollar (AUD)?
- If you’re carrying more than VUV 1,000,000 (or its foreign currency equivalent) while entering or leaving the country, you’ll need to declare it.
- Interestingly, the French colonial influence is still evident in today’s Vatu coins. They share similarities in size and design with those used in the New Hebrides era.
- Due to inflation, 1VT and 2VT coins are now rarely used, and prices are typically rounded up to the nearest 5VT.
