What is Aruba Florin (AWG)

The Aruba Florin (AWG) is the official currency of Aruba, a beautiful island located in the southern Caribbean Sea. The Florin is abbreviated as AWG and is subdivided into 100 cents. Interestingly, the currency has remained stable and strong, primarily due to Aruba's tourism-driven economy, which attracts visitors from around the world.

The Aruba Florin was introduced in 1986, replacing the Netherlands Antillean guilder. It is issued by the Central Bank of Aruba, and its symbol is often represented by "ƒ," although it can also be denoted as "AWG". The exchange rate of the Florin is generally pegged to the United States dollar (USD), making it comparatively stable against major currencies.

In everyday use, the Aruba Florin comes in various denominations, including coins of 1, 5, 10, 25 cents, and 1, 5 Florins, as well as banknotes of 10, 25, 50, 100, and 200 Florins. This range allows for flexibility in transactions, from small purchases in local markets to larger expenses at hotels and restaurants.

Due to its volatility, it’s common for individuals to prefer to hold currencies like the US dollar, particularly for saving and larger transactions.
