History reference:
The Paraguayan Guarani (Guarani) has been the national currency and money of the Republic of Paraguay since 1944. Centimo tokens have not been issued since 1954 and are not used in cash circulation d...ue to their extremely low purchasing power due to chronically high inflation. The name Guarani comes from the eponymous group of Indian peoples living in Paraguay and partly in neighboring states. The origin of the word "Guarani" is still controversial. According to one version, translated from the dialect of the Tupi people, “Guarani” means “warrior”. The term was used by the first Jesuit missionaries to name the Indians who converted to Catholicism. The rights of the emission center belong to the Central Bank of Paraguay, founded in 1952.

History reference:
Vatu means "stone" in Bislama. During the colonization of the islands by Great Britain and France, Australian, French and English money circulated on the territory of the New Hebrides. In 1941, the N...ew Hebridean franc was introduced into circulation. On July 30, 1980, the islands gained independence from Great Britain and France and the name of the state was renamed Vanuatu (meaning "this land forever"), and the New Hebridean franc was renamed Vatu. On December 16, 1980, the government began a monetary reform, one of the tasks of the reform was to develop the design of a new currency. On March 22, 1982, a new currency came into circulation. Until April 1, 1983, the new currency and the predecessor currencies (Australian dollar and New Hebridean franc) were used in everyday life.
