Previously, before the collapse of the USSR and the separation of Georgia, the banknotes of the USSR, Soviet rubles, were used in calculations, then they were temporarily replaced by Georgian coupons. However, the use of coupons in Georgia lasted only 4 years - in 1995, by a decree of President Shevardnadze, the lari was introduced into circulation. The design of banknotes was entrusted by the Central Bank to European designers, in particular, French and Slovak craftsmen made their contribution.

History reference:
The French Pacific franc is the currency used in Frances overseas possessions: New Caledonia, French Polynesia, Wallis and Futuna. The international currency code is XPF, introduced in 1945. At the s...ame time, the peg was carried out not to the French (due to the instability of this currency) franc, but to the US dollar. The issue of currency is carried out by the Issuing Institute of Overseas Territories of France. When it was introduced in December 1945 (the CFA franc was introduced at the same time), the abbreviation CFP consisted of the initial letters of the French words Colonies françaises du Pacifique (Pacific French colonies). Since 1967, the monetary unit has been called the "franc of the French offices in the Pacific" (from Comptoirs françaises du Pacifique - French offices in the Pacific). Now the abbreviation CFP (CFP) officially stands for Change Franc Pacifique (Pacific Exchange Franc).
