The Vanuatu Vatu (VUV) is the official currency of Vanuatu, issued by the Reserve Bank of Vanuatu.
The modern polymer series celebrates the nation’s cultural heritage, traditional craftsmanship, and natural environment, featuring imagery such as local ceremonies, native wildlife, and important national symbols.
These notes use durable polymer materials, vibrant colours, and enhanced security features designed for long‑term circulation in Vanuatu’s tropical climate.
They remain the primary legal tender across the archipelago and are widely recognised throughout the Pacific region.

Before the introduction of the current polymer series, Vanuatu issued earlier generations of paper Vatu banknotes.
These withdrawn notes include traditional engraving styles, older portraits, and designs reflecting Vanuatu’s early post‑independence identity.
Earlier series featured different cultural motifs, older security elements, and layouts that were gradually replaced as the Reserve Bank modernised the currency.
Although no longer used in everyday transactions, earlier Vanuatu Vatu notes still appear in stored belongings, travel documents, and long‑kept personal items.
At Thecurrencycounter.co.uk, we accept a wide range of outdated Vanuatu Vatu notes, including early paper issues, transitional designs, and denominations no longer seen in circulation.
