Converting from Vanuatu Vatu (VUV) to UAE Dirham (AED)

What is Vanuatu Vatu (VUV)

The Vanuatu Vatu (symbol: VUV) is the official currency of Vanuatu, a beautiful archipelago located in the South Pacific Ocean. The name "vatu" translates to "stone" in the local language, referencing the traditional currency system that used large stone disks as a medium of exchange.

Introduced in 1981, the Vatu is subdivided into 100 smaller units called "centimes." Although coins come in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 vatu, and 1, 2, 5 centimes, banknotes are more prevalent, ranging from 200 to 5,000 vatu. The Vanuatu Vatu is not commonly traded on the global market, which means that its value can vary significantly in relation to major currencies like the US dollar or Euro.

Currency exchange between the Vatu and other currencies can be influenced by various factors, including economic conditions, tourism, and internal policies. As a result, it is essential for travelers or those interested in foreign transactions to check up-to-date exchange rates for the most accurate conversions.

What is UAE Dirham (AED)

The United Arab Emirates Dirham (symbol: AED) is the official currency of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The dirham has a long history, derived from the Arabic word "drachma," and is often used in commercial transactions across the UAE, making it a major player in the Middle Eastern economy.

Introduced in 1973, the dirham is subdivided into 100 fils. Coins are available in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 fils, as well as 1 dirham. Banknotes come in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1,000 dirhams.
