Editing CFP franc (section)

=== Since 1985 ===

The largest denomination 10,000 CFP franc banknote (€83.80) was first issued in 1986, and omitted the capital city name. The city was also omitted from 500 franc banknotes issued after 1992, and the 1,000 and 5,000 franc banknotes issued after 1995.

In 2014, a single set of new banknote designs and smaller sizes were introduced, identical in both New Caledonia and French Polynesia. One side of the banknotes shows landscapes or historical figures from French Polynesia, the other from New Caledonia.

Before 2023, the coins were issued in two sets, one each for New Caledonia and French Polynesia, in 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 franc denominations. While the [[Obverse and reverse|obverse]] side was identical, the [[Obverse and reverse|reverse]] side was inscribed with either {{lang|fr|Nouvelle-Calédonie}} or {{lang|fr|Polynésie française}}, and used different designs depicting local landscapes, flora and fauna. However, both sets of coins could be used interchangeably in all three French territories.

The initials ''CFP'' originally stood for {{lang|fr|Colonies françaises du Pacifique}} ({{lit.|French colonies of the Pacific}}). This was later changed to {{lang|fr|Communauté financière du Pacifique}} ({{lit.|Pacific Financial Community}}), and then {{lang|fr|Change franc Pacifique}} ({{lit.|Pacific Franc Exchange}}), from which the XPF currency code was derived. An ordinance of 15 September 2021, which entered into force on 26 February 2022, defines the name CFP franc as {{lang|fr|le franc des collectivités françaises du Pacifique}} ({{lit.|the franc of the French Communities of the Pacific}}).<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/jorf/id/JORFTEXT000044060532 |title=Ordonnance n° 2021-1200 du 15 septembre 2021 relative aux titres Ier et II de la partie législative du livre VII du code monétaire et financier |author=<!--Not stated--> |date=15 September 2021 |website=www.legifrance.gouv.fr |publisher=[[Légifrance]] |language=fr |trans-title=Ordinance No. 2021-1200 of September 15, 2021 relating to Titles I and II of the legislative part of Book VII of the Monetary and Financial Code |access-date=19 February 2023}}</ref>

In 2021, a new series of smaller coins were introduced, with a single set of designs common to all three territories. The 1 and 2 franc coins were discontinued and a new, bimetallic 200 franc coin introduced. The old coins were withdrawn in January 2023.
