The design of the Fiji Dollar reflects the country's rich culture and natural beauty, featuring images of local flora, fauna, and prominent figures from Fijian history.

Economically, the value of the Fiji Dollar can be affected by various factors, including tourism, agriculture, and international trade. As Fiji heavily relies on these sectors, fluctuations in global economic conditions and weather patterns may lead to changes in the value of the FJD, impacting its exchange rate with other currencies.
