=== 2023 onwards === In September 2021 a new single set of coins was released, common to all three French Pacific Territories, to replace the two older sets of coins. The 1 and 2 franc coins were discontinued, and a new bimetallic 200 franc coin was issued. The old coins were withdrawn from circulation in January 2023. Since the lowest denomination in use is now the 5 franc coin, cash transactions are now subject to rounding: *Ending in 1 or 2 francs: round down to 0. *Ending in 3 or 4 francs: round up to 5. *Ending in 6 or 7 francs: round down to 5. *Ending in 8 or 9 francs: round up to 10. *Ending in 0 or 5 francs: remain unchanged. The rounding rule does not apply to non-cash transactions, which are still completed to the franc.<ref name="Nouvelles" /> The obverses of all the coins features a single wavy-line design, with the IEOM issuer and year engraved around the edge, and the denomination value. Each coin denomination has a single reverse design depicting landscapes, artefacts, flora and fauna from all three territories. {|class="wikitable" style="font-size: 90%" |- !colspan="11"|Coins of New Caledonia, Wallis & Futuna, and French Polynesia (2021–) |- !colspan="2"| Image !!rowspan="2"| Value !!colspan="4"| Technical parameters !!colspan="3"| Description !!rowspan="2"| Common name |- !
