Explore white-sand beaches, dive among colourful coral, or simply lounge in a delightful blue lagoon… How will you spend your time on Fiji’s 333 idyllic islands? To make the most of your getaway on this archipelago, you’ll need to exchange your New Zealand dollars to Fijian dollars so you can enjoy all the cocktails, cruises and adventures that are up for grabs here.
There’s no limit to how much Fijian currency you can bring into Fiji, however, you can’t depart the country with more cash than you arrived with – so treat yourself to delicious seafood, book yourself into a luxurious resort, order a martini under the swaying palm trees, and hire some snorkelling gear.
Top tip: Waiters and other service people won’t expect you to tip them. But a simple smile and a friendly thank you (try ‘vinaka!’) will certainly be appreciated.
The historical rates chart reveals how the exchange rate today compares to what it’s been in the past. If the FJD isn't quite where you want it to be, no worries. Just sign up to get currency alerts from us – we’ll tell you when the rate is better.
As with other dollars, Fijian dollars ($) are divided into 100 cents (c). Fiji coins come in 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, $1 and $2 denominations. Banknotes are available in $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 denominations. While there were 50c, $1 and $2 notes in the past, these have all been respectively replaced by coins of the same values.
