Banknotes and Coins
The Aruban Florin
When Aruba obtained its Status Aparte within the Kingdom of the Netherlands in 1986, the florin, which was pegged to the U.S. dollar, became the official currency of the island. Pursuant to the Central Bank Ordinance, the Centrale Bank van Aruba was entrusted with the responsibility for the issuance of the florin bank notes. During the period 1986 to 1989, transitorial bank notes were issued by the Bank. In 1990 and 1993, new sets of florin bank notes were issued, which were designed by Mr. Evelino Fingal and printed at "Joh. Enschedé en Zonen" in the Netherlands. Furthermore, the Bank issues coins on behalf of the government. The coins are also designed by Mr. Fingal and minted by the "Nederlandse Munt N.V.". The copyright on Aruban banknotes is owned by the Centrale Bank van Aruba.
New safety features have been added to the new 2003 series of banknotes. A brochure explaining the features is available.

The Design
When designing these bank notes, it was of primary importance to the designer to use elements which are fundamentally Aruban. Therefore, images of the Aruban animal wild life were combined with decorative motives found on pre-columbian pottery, thus emphasizing the relation between past and present. On these bank notes the following animals are depicted:
