During the colonial period, French Somalia used the Djibouti Franc as its official currency. The first banknotes, issued by the Banque de l'Indochine, featured typical colonial designs with local motifs and French symbols. After independence in 1977, the country, now known as Djibouti, continued to use the Djibouti Franc, but with new designs reflecting its national identity.
Current banknotes in circulation
Today, Djibouti uses the Djibouti Franc as its official currency. Banknotes in circulation include denominations of 1000, 2000, 5000 and 10000 francs. These banknotes feature images of local fauna, characteristic landscapes and historical figures important to the country. The Banque Centrale de Djibouti is responsible for the issuance and control of these banknotes, which incorporate modern security measures to prevent counterfeiting.
