The monetary history of the New Hebrides is fascinating and reflects the political and economic changes in this South Pacific archipelago. From its status as a Franco-British condominium to its independence as Vanuatu, the region has undergone several transformations in its monetary system.
Currency during the condominium
During the condominium period (1906-1980), New Hebrides used a variety of currencies. Initially, both French and British coins and banknotes circulated. In 1966, the New Hebrides franc was introduced, which was pegged to the French franc. This dual system reflected the unique nature of joint Franco-British rule over the territory.
Transition to Vanuatu
With independence in 1980, New Hebrides became the Republic of Vanuatu. This political change brought with it significant currency reform. The New Hebrides franc was replaced by the vatu, the new national currency. The Reserve Bank of Vanuatu, established in 1980, assumed responsibility for issuing and regulating the new currency, marking an important milestone in the country's economic sovereignty.
New Hebrides is a country that does not exist today. It is now part of the Vanuatu old coins.
