Convert AUD to FJD

The lowdown on the Fijian dollar

The Fijian dollar has been Fiji’s official currency since 1969, with an earlier stint between 1867 and 1873.

When the dollar was reintroduced on 15 January 1969, it replaced the Fijian pound at a rate of 1 Fijian pound to 2 Fijian dollars.

Even though Fiji has been a republic since way back in 1987, its coins and banknotes still featured Queen Elizabeth II right up until 2013. Today, Fijian currency showcases vibrant images of native plants and animals — a true reflection of Fiji’s tropical beauty.
