Australian Dollar to CFP Franc — exchange rate

The Australian dollar (symbol: $ ,code: AUD, number 036) is the currency of the Commonwealth of Australia. It is used not only on the territory of Australia, but also on the adjacent islands: Cocos Islands, Norfolk, and Christmas Islands. $ is identified as AUD or by the classic dollar sign on the global financial market.

One AUD is 100 cents. It has come into action in 1966, replacing the Australian pound. Since the late 80s, banknotes have been being made from special flexible plastic instead of paper. It makes money last longer in humid Australian climate. Interestingly, all banknotes have the same height, but are different in length. On the notes you can find portraits of historical and political figures, important buildings and objects. Australia also regularly issues commemorative coins worth 50 cents.

The French overseas collectives franc (Ф) is the official currency issued and spread on the territory of Polynesia, New Caledonia, Wallis and Futuna. In the financial arena, the currency is abbreviated to XPF. The franc is not subdivided into coins.

The minimum denomination for the overseas territories is 1 franc. XPF was established as a currency in 1945. The premise was the fact that the French franc was losing its power. The franc has changed more than once. The latest note design was developed in 2014. Today, old banknotes are being gradually taken out of circulation.
