| Aanvullende informatie |
Vanuatu's coinage program, established at independence in 1980, replaced the joint British-French condominium's dual-currency system — one of the more administratively peculiar monetary arrangements in Pacific colonial history, where pounds sterling and French francs circulated simultaneously under separate legal jurisdictions on the same islands.
The 10 vatu is notably heavy for its face value, a deliberate policy choice to give the currency physical credibility in a newly independent nation building institutional trust from scratch.
