The '''Fijian dollar''' ([[currency sign]]: FJ$, '''[[Dollar sign|$]]'''; [[ISO 4217|currency code]]: '''FJD''') has been the [[currency]] of [[Fiji]] since 1969 and was also the currency between 1867 and 1873. It is normally abbreviated with the [[dollar sign]] [[$]], or alternatively '''FJ$''' to distinguish it from other [[dollar]]-denominated currencies. It is divided into 100 [[cent (currency)|cent]]s.

==History==
===Decimalisation origins===
Fiji followed the pattern of [[South Africa]], [[Australia]], and [[New Zealand]] in that when it adopted the [[decimalisation|decimal system]], it decided to use the half pound unit as opposed to the pound unit of account. The choice of the name [[dollar]] was motivated by the fact that the reduced value of the new unit corresponded more closely to the value of the [[United States dollar|US dollar]] than it did to the [[pound sterling]].

===Second dollar (1969–present)===
The dollar was reintroduced on 15 January 1969, replacing the [[Fijian pound]] at a rate of 1 pound = 2 dollars, or 10 [[shilling]]s = FJ$1. Despite Fiji having been a [[republic]] since 1987, coins and banknotes continued to feature [[Elizabeth II|Queen Elizabeth II]] until 2013, when her portrait was replaced with pictures of plants and animals.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/world/fiji-replaces-currency-images-of-queen-elizabeth-ii-with-plants-animals/story-e6frg6so-1226535444852 |title=Fiji replaces currency images of Queen Elizabeth II with endemic plants, animals |date=12 December 2012 |work=[[The Australian]] |access-date=20 December 2012}}</ref>

==Coinage==

[[File:Img227 — копия (15).jpg|frameless|144x144px]]

In 1969, coins were introduced in denominations of 1c, 2c, 5c, 10c & 20c, with a 50c coin issued in 1975. The coins had the same sizes and compositions as the corresponding [[Coins of the Australian dollar|Australian coins]], with the 50 cents matching the [[cupronickel]] dodecagonal type introduced in Australia in 1969. In 1990, new compositions were introduced, with copper-plated zinc used for the 1¢ and 2¢ coins, and nickel-plated steel for the 5c, 10c, 20c & 50c. An aluminium-bronze {{val|p=$|1}} coin was introduced in 1995, replacing the {{val|p=$|1}} note. 2009 saw the introduction of a new smaller coinage from 5 to 50 cents.{{citation needed|date=October 2020}} These were struck by the [[Royal Canadian Mint]] and are made with the three-ply electroplate method. The 1 and 2 cents were also discontinued and withdrawn the same year. A thinner brass plated steel {{val|p=$|1}} coin was later introduced in 2010, gradually phasing out the older type.

In 2013 Fiji released a whole family of new coins, with fauna themes, and without the Queen's portrait.{{citation needed|date=October 2020}} This new series saw the introduction of a {{val|p=$|2}} coin, replacing the corresponding note just as the {{val|p=$|1}} coin had done before. This coin faced controversy due to being too easily mistaken as a {{val|p=$|1}}, as it was only slightly larger of the same colour. It was replaced by a larger and thicker [[Spanish flower]] shaped {{val|p=$|2}} coin in 2014.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://fijione.tv/new-fiji-2-coins-in-circulation-next-monday/ |title=New Fiji $2 coins in circulation next Monday &#124; Fiji One |access-date=1 December 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150106060418/http://fijione.tv/new-fiji-2-coins-in-circulation-next-monday/ |archive-date=6 January 2015 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The metallic content of both the {{val|p=$|1}} and {{val|p=$|2}} was also changed in 2014 for better durability and resistance to wear after widespread complaints of the coins corroding and "turning black".

==Banknotes==
===First dollar===
[[File:FIJ-16b-Levuka (Treasury Note)-10 Dollars (1872).jpg|thumb|Series 1872 Treasury Note for 10 dollars payable at [[Levuka]]]]

In 1867, the government treasury issued 1 dollar notes. These were followed by notes for {{val|p=$|1}}, {{val|p=$|5}}, {{val|p=$|10}}, {{val|p=$|25}} and {{val|p=$|50}} issued between 1871 and 1873. Also between 1871 and 1873, King [[Seru Epenisa Cakobau]] issued notes in denominations of {{frac|12|1|2}}¢, 25¢, 50¢, 100¢ and {{val|p=$|5}}. [[Levuka]] (on [[Ovalau (Fiji)|Ovalau]] island) issued {{val|p=$|1}} and {{val|p=$|5}} notes during the 1870s.

===Second dollar===
[[File:Fijitwodollars2000.jpg|thumb|Commemorative two-dollar banknote for 2000]]

On 15 January 1969, the government introduced notes in denominations of 50 cents, {{val|p=$|1}}, {{val|p=$|2}}, {{val|p=$|10}}, and {{val|p=$|20}}; the {{val|p=$|5}} note was not issued until 1970.<ref>{{cite book | last1 = Linzmayer | first1 = Owen | title = The Banknote Book | chapter = Fiji | publisher = BanknoteNews.com | year = 2012 | location = San Francisco, CA | url = http://www.banknotebook.com}}</ref> The Central Monetary Authority took over the issuance of paper money in 1974, issuing the same denominations, although the 50c note was replaced by a coin on 3 March 1975. In 1986, the [[Reserve Bank of Fiji]] began issuing notes. The {{val|p=$|1}} note was replaced by a coin in 1995. The {{val|p=$|50}} note was introduced in 1996, followed by a {{val|p=$|100}} note on 10 April 2007. Banknote denominations in circulation as of 2017 are: {{val|p=$|5}}, {{val|p=$|10}}, {{val|p=$|20}}, {{val|p=$|50}} and {{val|p=$|100}}.<ref>{{cite web | author=Nachthund | date=2007-05-02 | url=http://www.nachthund.biz/CatalogUpdate/Fiji/FijiIndex.html | title=Update – Fiji. | access-date=2007-05-03 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927065057/http://www.nachthund.biz/CatalogUpdate/Fiji/FijiIndex.html | archive-date=27 September 2007 }}</ref>

==Current status and value==

On 16 August 2005, Finance Minister [[Jone Kubuabola|Ratu Jone Kubuabola]] announced that the [[Cabinet of Fiji|Cabinet]] had approved the introduction of a {{val|p=$|100}} banknote and the withdrawal of the 1 and 2 cent coin, as the minting cost exceeded its face value. Kubuabola said that the {{val|p=$|100}} banknote would measure 156 × 67 [[millimetre|mm]], with the other banknotes receding at 5&nbsp;mm towards the lowest banknote denomination. The portrait of Queen Elizabeth II would remain on all banknotes, he added, obviously in answer to calls from some politicians to remove the Queen's portrait from the currency after 18 years as a [[republic]]. Fiji is, however, a member of the [[Commonwealth of Nations|Commonwealth]], and Queen Elizabeth was recognized as Paramount Chief of the [[Great Council of Chiefs]] of Fiji until her death on 8 September 2022. Her portrait was updated to a more mature one, which was released in 2007, becoming the fourth portrait of the Queen to appear on Fijian currency.

In 2009, the demonetization of the 1 and 2 cent coins was made official and a new coin set of 5, 10, 20, and 50 cent coins with reduced size were introduced. The old coins based on the Australian size standard were withdrawn from circulation.  The reformed coins were introduced to save on production costs.  The new 50 cent piece is also round with reeded edges rather than twelve-sided.  On 2 March 2011, it was announced that Fiji would drop Queen Elizabeth II's portrait from its coins and notes, instead opting for local [[flora]] and [[fauna]].<ref name="drop">{{Cite web|url=https://www.emirates247.com/offbeat/fiji-to-dump-british-queen-from-currency-2011-03-02-1.362933|title=Fiji to dump British queen from currency – Offbeat – Emirates24&#124;7|website=Emirates247.com|date=2 March 2011 }}</ref> The removal was seen as retaliation for Fiji's suspension from its full membership of the [[Commonwealth of Nations|Commonwealth]].<ref name="drop" /> The new set, which was unveiled on 12 December 2012, was issued on 2 January 2013.  The new series of Fijian coins include a brass-plated steel {{val|p=$|2}} coin intended to replace the note, and a thinner, reduced weight {{val|p=$|1}} coin.  The new series of Fijian dollar banknotes feature Fijian flora and fauna to replace the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.  One change in the redesign of the Fijian dollar banknotes was the {{val|p=$|5}} note. Originally printed on paper, it is now issued as a [[polymer banknote]].<ref>[http://banknotenews.com/files/fc8f7344785f25aa021393e6aeca3e0c-2398.php Fiji new 2012 flora and fauna series confirmed] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130817060900/http://banknotenews.com/files/fc8f7344785f25aa021393e6aeca3e0c-2398.php |date=17 August 2013 }}, ''BanknoteNews.com''. 30 January 2013. Retrieved on 2013-02-04.</ref>

[[Polymer]] plastic-coated notes were introduced in 2007, featuring images of local people, culture, trade and industry.  Their sizes vary among denominations.

A new series of notes, the "Flora and Fauna" design series, was introduced in 2013, featuring endemic flora and fauna. The image of [[Queen Elizabeth II]] no longer features in the new banknote series.  The {{val|p=$|2}} note, now coined, ceased to be legal tender on 31 March 2013 and the {{val|p=$|5}} note is now printed in green, a change from its previous tawny and brown colour scheme.  The new {{val|p=$|5}} note, the first banknote from the "Flora and Fauna" design series, entered into circulation on 2 April 2013.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.kln.gov.my/web/fji_suva/home/-/asset_publisher/8pPT/blog/fiji%E2%80%99s-new-flora-and-fauna-design-banknotes-and-coins?redirect=%2Fweb%2Ffji_suva%2Fhome |title=Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Malaysia - FIji's NEW FLORA AND FAUNA DESIGN BANKNOTES AND COINS - Home |website=www.kln.gov.my |access-date=20 July 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140221211708/http://www.kln.gov.my/web/fji_suva/home/-/asset_publisher/8pPT/blog/fiji%E2%80%99s-new-flora-and-fauna-design-banknotes-and-coins?redirect=%2Fweb%2Ffji_suva%2Fhome |archive-date=21 February 2014 |url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.thetimes.com/comment/register/article/fiji-currency-replaces-monarchy-with-animal-kingdom-k7fd5bskc0s|title=Fiji currency replaces monarchy with animal kingdom|first=Anne|last=Barrowclough|newspaper=[[The Times]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://securamonde.com/news-2/banknotes/fiji-issues-first-polymer-banknote/|title=Fiji Issues First Polymer Banknote|website=Securamonde.com|date=3 April 2013}}</ref>
