What is Bosnia and Herzegovina Convertible Mark (BAM)

The Bosnia and Herzegovina Convertible Mark, commonly abbreviated as BAM, is the official currency of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The Vanuatu Vatu, abbreviated as VUV, is the official currency of the island nation of Vanuatu, located in the South Pacific Ocean. Introduced in 1982, the vatu serves as the backbone of the nation’s economy. The currency is not subdivided like many currencies are, making it distinct in its simplicity. The symbol for the vatu is Vt, and it is represented with the currency code VUV in trading and financial contexts.

Vanuatu’s economy is largely driven by agriculture, tourism, and services. The vatu’s value can fluctuate due to various factors including international trade, tourism trends, and political stability. VUV banknotes come in denominations of 200, 500, and 1,000 vatu, and coins are available in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 vatu.

Due to its geographical location, Vanuatu's currency market is influenced by global economic trends, but it remains relatively stable, reflecting the nation’s developing economy.
