Converting from Vanuatu Vatu (VUV) to Czech Koruna (CZK)

What is Vanuatu Vatu (VUV)

The Vanuatu Vatu (VUV) is the official currency of Vanuatu, a beautiful archipelago located in the South Pacific Ocean. The word "vatu" originates from the local language, referring to a type of stone that has traditionally been used as a form of currency. Introduced in 1981, the VUV replaced the Australian dollar, which was previously used in the region.

The Vanuatu Vatu is subdivided into 100 centimes, although centimes are not often used in everyday transactions. Banknotes are available in denominations of 200, 500, and 1,000 vatu, while coins come in values of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 vatu. The VUV is widely accepted within the islands and is a crucial part of the local economy, influencing tourism, trade, and daily transactions among residents.

What is Czech Koruna (CZK)

The Czech Koruna (CZK) serves as the official currency of the Czech Republic, which is located in Central Europe. The name "koruna" translates to "crown" in English, reflecting its historical ties to the concept of royalty. The currency was introduced in 1993 after the split of Czechoslovakia into two independent nations—the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

The koruna is further divided into 100 haléřů, although haléř coins are rarely seen nowadays, largely due to their low value. The Czech Koruna comes in various banknote denominations, including 100, 200, 500, 1,000, 2,000, and 5,000 korunas. The coins are available in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 korunas. CZK is a stable currency within the region and is accepted at most businesses and retailers throughout the Czech Republic.
