All about the South Pacific Franc

What countries use the South Pacific Franc?

The South Pacific Franc (XFP), also known as Change Franc Pacifique (CFP), is used in French Polynesia, New Caledonia, and Wallis and Futuna… meaning if you’re planning a dreamy trip to Tahiti, want to snorkel through paradisical Bora Bora, or explore heart-shaped Mo'orea, you’ll need to pack some South Pacific Francs!

XPF notes and coins

The notes, available in denominations of 500, 1000, 5000, and 10,000 XPF, feature stunning designs like tropical fish, traditional outrigger canoes, and lush landscapes.
Coins range from 1 to 100 XPF, showcasing iconic symbols of the islands. Holding XPF currency is like carrying a snapshot of paradise in your wallet.

Fun facts about South Pacific Franc

The CFP Franc was created in 1945 to protect France's Pacific territories from a French franc devaluation, not because the franc itself disappeared, it kept going in France for another 57 years
Every banknote doubles as a tiny postcard: one side shows New Caledonia, the other French Polynesia, with Wallis & Futuna represented too
New Caledonia and French Polynesia used separate coins for decades even after their banknotes were unified in 1985; a single shared coin design only arrived in 2023
The XPF currency code traces back to "Change franc Pacifique," one of several official meanings the initials CFP have carried since 1945

Travel Money Trivia - Polynesian Islands edition

The XPF was founded when the French franc was retired following WWII.
Every XPF banknote shows a landscape or historical figure from French Polynesia on one side, and New Caledonia on the other, so every note is like your own little postcard.
The XPF was used in 3 different forms across New Hebrides, French Polynesia and New Caledonia right up to 1985, until a little common sense kicked in.
The XPF is pegged to the Euro, ensuring stability for travellers and locals alike.

What currency is used in New Caledonia and Tahiti?
New Caledonia, French Polynesia (including Tahiti, Bora Bora, Moorea, and other islands), and Wallis and Futuna all share the same official currency — the CFP Franc (also called Pacific Franc or French Pacific Franc), abbreviated as XPF and symbolized by F or CFP. "CFP" originally stood for Colonies Françaises du Pacifique (French Colonies of the Pacific) but now means Cours de Franc Pacifique. The CFP Franc is pegged to the Euro at a fixed rate: 1,000 XPF = 8.38 EUR (this rate never changes). You'll need CFP Francs for everyday expenses throughout all three French Pacific territories.
What does XPF stand for?
XPF is the ISO currency code for the CFP Franc (Pacific Franc). The "X" indicates a supranational currency (used across multiple territories), "P" stands for Pacific, and "F" for Franc. XPF is used across three French Pacific territories: New Caledonia, French Polynesia (Tahiti, Bora Bora, Moorea, and 118 islands), and Wallis and Futuna. When you see "XPF" in exchange rates, it refers to CFP Francs. The currency symbol is "F" or "CFP" and prices are displayed as "1,000 F" or "1000 CFP" throughout these territories.
What does CFP Franc mean?
"CFP" originally stood for Colonies Françaises du Pacifique (French Colonies of the Pacific) when the currency was introduced in 1945. After these territories gained more autonomy, the meaning changed to Cours de Franc Pacifique (Exchange Rate of the Pacific Franc) to reflect their updated political status. Today, New Caledonia, French Polynesia, and Wallis and Futuna are French overseas territories (not colonies), but they retain the CFP Franc as their shared currency. The CFP Franc has been pegged to the Euro since 1999 at a fixed rate of 1,000 XPF = 8.38 EUR, providing currency stability across the French Pacific.
Is it better to buy CFP Franc in Australia or in New Caledonia/Tahiti?
It's generally better to buy at least some CFP Francs in Australia before your trip. You can lock in the exchange rate at Travel Money Oz with our Price Beat Guarantee and arrive in Noumea or Papeete ready to pay for taxis, tips, and initial expenses without searching for exchange services or queuing at the airport. While you can exchange money at banks and exchange bureaus throughout New Caledonia and French Polynesia, airport rates typically include higher markups, and you'll waste valuable vacation time searching for the best rates. Additionally, if arriving on weekends or late at night, exchange options may be limited. Having CFP Francs organised before departure means you're prepared from the moment you land — especially important for paying taxi fares or catching le truck (public transport) in Tahiti.
Should I take cash or card to New Caledonia and Tahiti?
Both! New Caledonia and French Polynesia have good card acceptance at resorts, hotels, upscale restaurants, and larger shops — credit and debit cards work well in tourist areas. However, you'll need CFP Franc cash for local markets in Noumea and Papeete (handicrafts, black pearls, fresh produce, tropical fruits), roulottes (Tahitian food trucks offering delicious, cheap meals), le truck (Tahiti's colorful public buses, cash-only), public buses in Noumea, taxis, small restaurants and beach cafes, tips for guides and service staff, remote islands and outer atolls (where cards aren't accepted), village visits, and smaller pensions or guesthouses. ATMs exist in Noumea, Papeete, and Bora Bora but are scarce on outer islands. Bring substantial CFP Franc cash plus cards for flexibility.
What is the current AUD to XPF exchange rate?
Can I convert leftover CFP Franc back to AUD?
Yes! If you've returned from New Caledonia, Tahiti, Bora Bora, or anywhere in the French Pacific with leftover CFP Francs, bring them to any Travel Money Oz store and we'll convert them back to AUD. If you originally bought your XPF from us, you may qualify for our Buy Back Bonus for even better value. Just bring your original receipt. Many Australian travelers return with leftover CFP Francs from their French Pacific adventures, making buyback services commonly used and straightforward.
