Euro to Aruban florin — exchange rate

The euro (sign: €, code: EUR, number: 978) is a currency unit that is used for payment on the Eurozone territory. It is used among the majority of European countries: in Germany, Austria, Spain, France, Greece, etc. A common abbreviation of the currency is EUR.

Every euro is worth 100 cents. Sometimes the coins are called eurocents to avoid misunderstanding. The € currency was introduced in 2002 after the official establishment of the European Union. It has replaced a lot of European currencies: Greek drachma, Lithuanian litas, Slovak krona and so on. Introducing euro on a vast territory has allowed to remove transfer commission connected to conversion. Many preserved local currencies have a rate closely tied to EUR.

The Aruban florin (ƒ) is the currency of Aruba. It is used only on the territory of this country. It is denoted as AWG and contains 100 cents.

The florin came into circulation in 1986. At that time, the government gained independence from the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Before that, there was the Antillean guilder used on the island. Until today, the florin has gone through several design changes. At the moment, the banknotes feature key buildings and Aruban monuments, and flora and fauna of the island as well. An interesting detail is that 50 cents is the only coin that is still minted in square shape.
