Vanuatu Vatu (VUV)

The Vanuatu vatu, known by the currency code VUV, is the official currency of Vanuatu. It is issued by the Reserve Bank of Vanuatu and used for everyday payments across the island country.

Unlike many currencies, the vatu is not divided into a smaller unit such as cents. Prices are shown in whole vatu. The symbol VT is also commonly used.

If USD/VUV rises from 115 to 120, one US dollar now buys more vatu. This means the vatu has weakened against the dollar.

The word vatu means “stone” in a local language. The currency was introduced after Vanuatu became independent and replaced the New Hebrides franc.
