Banknotes feature national landmarks, cultural symbols, and local leaders. Cash is the main method of payment, though cards are accepted in larger towns and tourist areas like Port Vila. Coins are used for smaller amounts. The vatu’s value can fluctuate with economic conditions. The Vanuatu vatu reflects the country’s independence and culture.
