What you need to know about the currency Fijian Dollar
The Fijian dollar is used exclusively within the territory of the Republic of Fiji. However, in tourist areas, the Australian dollar (AUD) and New Zealand dollar (NZD) are also widely accepted, meaning travellers from Oceania do not always need to exchange currency.
The Fijian dollar (FJD) is the official currency of the Republic of Fiji, an archipelago of over 300 islands in the South Pacific. Its symbol is FJ$ or $. It entered circulation in 1969, replacing the Fijian pound at an exchange rate of 2 dollars per pound.
Fijian dollar banknotes in circulation are 100, 50, 20, 10, and 5 FJ$. They stand out for their vibrant colors and designs representing local flora, fauna, and culture. The 2-dollar notes have been discontinued, but some still circulate legally.
FJD coins are 1 and 2 Fijian dollars, and 5, 10, 20, and 50 cents. The 1 and 2 cent coins were withdrawn from circulation in 2013. All coins display national symbols such as the tanoa (ceremonial bowl) or endemic species from the archipelago.
Fijian dollar banknotes have been made from polymer since 2013, making them more durable, water-resistant, and difficult to counterfeit. They also include transparent windows with advanced security features that change color depending on the viewing angle.
The Reserve Bank of Fiji issues collectible commemorative coins with extraordinary designs that are not legal tender. They stand out for their unique shapes (triangular, hexagonal), colorful finishes, and themes such as marine fauna, Olympic Games, or national anniversaries.
In Fiji, cash remains the preferred payment method in local markets and rural areas. International cards are accepted at major resorts and hotels, but travellers should carry Fijian dollars in cash for purchases at traditional markets such as the famous Suva Municipal Market.
