If you've seen both TWD and NTD used for Taiwan's currency and wondered if they're different things, they're not.

TWD is the official ISO currency code used internationally in exchange rates, banking, and financial systems worldwide.
NTD stands for New Taiwan Dollar, which is the official name of the currency itself, introduced in 1949.

In simple terms: TWD is the code, NTD is the name. Whether you search "AUD to TWD" or "AUD to NTD," you're converting to the same currency. On this page we use TWD as the standard code, but you'll see NTD and NT$ throughout since most travellers use all three.

How to save money while in Taiwan

Night markets are your best friend for cheap, delicious eating. Try oyster omelettes, scallion pancakes, and bubble tea from local stands rather than tourist restaurants. Shilin is iconic, but Raohe and Ningxia are less crowded and just as good.
Taiwan's natural beauty is extraordinary and much of it is free. Hike Elephant Mountain for views of Taipei 101, visit Taroko Gorge's dramatic river gorges, or cycle the east coast scenic route. The locals know the best spots, so ask around.
Convenience stores are genuinely useful in Taiwan. 7-Eleven and FamilyMart sell hot meals, fresh food, and drinks at very low prices. A quick meal from a convenience store is a budget staple for locals and travellers alike.
Keep a supply of NT$50 coins handy for MRT rides, locker deposits, and coin-operated laundromats.

All about Taiwanese currency

What is the currency of Taiwan?

The official currency of Taiwan is the New Taiwan Dollar, with the international code TWD and the local abbreviation NTD or NT$. One dollar divides into 100 cents, though cents are rarely used in everyday transactions.

The New Taiwan Dollar was introduced on 15 June 1949, replacing the old Taiwan Dollar at a rate of 40,000 old dollars to 1 new dollar, as part of currency reforms to address post-war hyperinflation.

Taiwanese notes and coins

Banknotes: NT$100, NT$200, NT$500, NT$1,000

Coins: NT$1, NT$5, NT$10, NT$50

Note: the NT$200 note exists but is rarely encountered in everyday transactions. It is the least-used denomination in Taiwan.

Fun facts about Taiwanese cash

Taiwanese banknotes feature iconic national figures and landmarks. The NT$1,000 note features Chiang Kai-shek on the front and students and the Presidential Office Building on the reverse. The NT$100 note features Sun Yat-sen on the front and the Presidential Office Building on the reverse.
The NT$200 note was controversial when introduced, with some critics suggesting Chiang Kai-shek was placed on a rarely-used denomination specifically so that his image would have less everyday visibility. The note remains legal tender but is seldom seen.
Taiwan is one of the world's leading producers of semiconductors. TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) produces chips used in iPhones, cars, and AI servers worldwide. The island's economy is a high-tech powerhouse, which is reflected in Taiwan's relatively stable and well-managed currency.

Travel Money Trivia - Taiwan edition

The New Taiwan Dollar was introduced on 15 June 1949, replacing the old Taiwan Dollar to stabilise the economy following the end of World War II and the Chinese Civil War.
Taiwan is one of the world's largest semiconductor producers. Despite its small size, Taiwan's economy ranks among the top 25 globally by GDP, and the New Taiwan Dollar is one of Asia's more stable currencies.
Unlike many East Asian currencies, the New Taiwan Dollar has historically maintained relatively steady value against the AUD, making it a straightforward currency for Australian travellers to plan around.

Good to know

Make sure to declare your cash if you're bringing more than NT$100,000 in New Taiwan Dollars, or more than USD 10,000 in foreign currency, into or out of Taiwan.

Keep a few NT$50 coins handy for quick MRT rides, coin lockers, and street food purchases.

What is the best place to buy Taiwan Dollars in Australia?
A dedicated foreign currency specialist will almost always offer a better deal than a bank, post office, or airport exchange. Here's how the options compare:
- Banks typically charge transaction fees on top of a less competitive rate.
- Post offices offer limited currency options and variable rates.
- Airport exchanges are the most expensive option. Buy before you travel, not after you land.
Travel Money Oz charges no fees or commission on TWD cash purchases, offers a Price Beat Guarantee on in-store purchases, and stocks Taiwan Dollars every day across 90+ stores as part of our In Stock Promise. You can also order Taiwan Dollars online for same-day click & collect or home delivery.
Is it cheaper to exchange AUD to TWD in Australia or Taiwan?
It's almost always better to buy Taiwan Dollars in Australia before you travel. Airport exchanges at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport and tourist-area currency counters typically offer less favourable rates and higher fees. Sorting your TWD before you leave also means you arrive financially prepared, with cash ready for transport, night markets, and immediate expenses from the moment you land.
Travel Money Oz offers competitive AUD to TWD rates, no fees or commission, and same-day online ordering with click & collect or home delivery. Find your nearest store if you'd prefer to buy in person.

How much is 1 AUD in Taiwan Dollars?
What affects the AUD to TWD exchange rate?
The AUD to TWD exchange rate is influenced by a range of economic factors, including:
- Interest rate decisions by the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Central Bank of the Republic of China (Taiwan)
- Global technology and semiconductor demand, as Taiwan's economy is heavily tied to chip manufacturing
- Commodity prices, particularly for Australian mineral and agricultural exports
- Broader investor sentiment toward Asian currencies and regional trade flows
Rates change daily, so it's worth checking the live AUD to TWD rate above before you buy.
What can I do with leftover Taiwan Dollars after my trip?
You can sell your leftover Taiwan Dollars (TWD/NTD) back to Australian dollars at any Travel Money Oz store. TWD buy-back is available in-store only and is not processed through the online calculator.
If you originally bought your Taiwan Dollars from Travel Money Oz, you may also be eligible for our Buy Back Bonus, which gets you a better rate than the standard buy-back.
Find your nearest store to get started.
How much spending money do I need for Taiwan?
Taiwan is one of the better value destinations in East Asia, with excellent food, transport, and attractions at very reasonable prices. As a rough guide:
- Budget travellers eating at night markets and using public transport typically spend AUD $50–$80 per day.
- Mid-range travellers average AUD $100–$150 per day once accommodation, restaurant dining, and activities are factored in.
- Taipei tends to be slightly more expensive than the rest of the island. Smaller cities and rural areas are significantly more affordable.
Worth noting: Taiwan has no strong tipping culture. Tipping is not expected at restaurants or taxis, though it's appreciated at higher-end establishments.
