New Caledonia Banknotes Catalog

The history of banknotes in New Caledonia reflects the political and economic evolution of this French overseas territory. From its first banknotes to the present day, New Caledonia's notafilia has undergone significant changes that reflect its unique identity and its relationship with France.

Current banknotes in circulation

Currently, New Caledonia uses the CFP franc (XPF) as its official currency. Banknotes in circulation are issued by the Institut d'émission d'outre-mer (IEOM) and feature designs that celebrate the culture and nature of the region. Denominations include 500, 1000, 5000 and 10000 CFP francs, with motifs ranging from local fauna and flora to traditional elements of Kanak culture.

Old banknotes and note landmarks

Prior to the introduction of the CFP franc in 1945, New Caledonia used a variety of banknotes, including those issued by the Banque de l'Indochine. An important milestone was the issuance of emergency bills during World War II, when cash shortages led to the creation of temporary bills. Another significant moment was the transition to the CFP franc, which marked a change in monetary sovereignty and reflected political changes in the relationship between New Caledonia and metropolitan France.
