The history of the Aruba Florin
Aruba became a separate territory within the Kingdom
of the Netherlands in 1986. Shortly after Aruba became a separate territory
Aruba established its own Central Bank “Banco Central di Aruba”, and began to
issue its own currency, the Aruban florin. The Aruban florin was first
introduced in 1986, replacing the Netherlands Antilles guilder at par. The
Aruban florin is divided into 100 cents and its ISO 4217 code is AWG.
Prices in Aruban florins are expressed the same as prices in guilder currencies,
with a long italic f, i.e. ƒ100,00 is 100 florin.
Coins come in denominations of 5, 10, 25 and 50 cents, 1, 2½ and 5 florin.
Currently Banknotes are issued in denominations of ƒ10, ƒ25, ƒ50, ƒ100 and ƒ500,
the 5 florin banknote has been replaced by a coin, however the note remains
legal tender. All banknotes in Aruba are issued by Central Bank of Aruba. On the
first series 1986 banknotes the name of the central bank was written in the
local language Papiamento; Banco Central di Aruba. On all notes from 1990 until
today the bank’s name is expressed in Dutch only; Centrale Bank van Aruba.
The value of the Aruban florin is pegged to the U.S. dollar at a rate of 1.79
florins is equal to one U.S. dollar. This peg has been observed since the
florins inception in 1986.
