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.
