What you need to know about the currency New Zealand Dollar
The Fijian dollar is used exclusively within the territory of the Republic of Fiji. However, in tourist areas, the Australian dollar (AUD) and New Zealand dollar (NZD) are also widely accepted, meaning travellers from Oceania do not always need to exchange currency.
The Fijian dollar (FJD) is the official currency of the Republic of Fiji, an archipelago of over 300 islands in the South Pacific. Its symbol is FJ$ or $. It entered circulation in 1969, replacing the Fijian pound at an exchange rate of 2 dollars per pound.
Fijian dollar banknotes in circulation are 100, 50, 20, 10, and 5 FJ$. They stand out for their vibrant colors and designs representing local flora, fauna, and culture. The 2-dollar notes have been discontinued, but some still circulate legally.
FJD coins are 1 and 2 Fijian dollars, and 5, 10, 20, and 50 cents. The 1 and 2 cent coins were withdrawn from circulation in 2013. All coins display national symbols such as the tanoa (ceremonial bowl) or endemic species from the archipelago.
Fijian dollar banknotes have been made from polymer since 2013, making them more durable, water-resistant, and difficult to counterfeit. They also include transparent windows with advanced security features that change color depending on the viewing angle.
The Reserve Bank of Fiji issues collectible commemorative coins with extraordinary designs that are not legal tender. They stand out for their unique shapes (triangular, hexagonal), colorful finishes, and themes such as marine fauna, Olympic Games, or national anniversaries.
In Fiji, cash remains the preferred payment method in local markets and rural areas. International cards are accepted at major resorts and hotels, but travellers should carry Fijian dollars in cash for purchases at traditional markets such as the famous Suva Municipal Market.

Where can I collect the Fijian dollars I booked online?
After making your online currency exchange reservation, you can collect your Fijian dollars at the airport currency exchange office you selected during the booking process. In addition to guaranteeing you the best exchange rate with your online booking, this airport collection service allows you to save time and travel worry-free, as you'll have your currency exchange ready for your international trip.
Why is the New Zealand dollar to Fijian dollar exchange rate I see on the internet different from the one at airport currency exchange offices or on your website?
The currency converters you check on your mobile display the interbank exchange rate or market reference exchange rate. This is the price at which financial institutions exchange currencies among themselves in large-volume wholesale operations.
However, usually individual customers cannot access this interbank exchange rate. This reference rate does not include the real operational costs of the foreign currency exchange service, such as transportation, security, storage, and physical cash handling, nor the immediate availability of currency at the time and place the customer needs it.
Therefore, when you need to exchange New Zealand dollar to Fijian dollar (or any currency exchange), the exchange rate at currency exchange offices will always differ from what's published on online converters. Each currency exchange company sets its own rate according to the characteristics and costs of their service.
What is the difference between currency exchange and money exchange?
The foreign exchange market (Forex or FX) is a wholesale financial market that establishes the reference exchange rate between different currencies for large-volume international transactions between financial institutions and companies.
Money exchange or foreign currency exchange, on the other hand, is a retail service where individual customers buy and sell physical cash banknotes. The buying and selling of physical currency involves additional operational costs such as transportation, security, storage, and cash handling that don't exist in digital currency exchange operations between bank accounts.
For this reason, the exchange rate for money exchange at currency exchange offices is different than the interbank exchange rate from the Forex market that financial entities use for their wholesale operations.
