Money New Caledonia Currency and Exchange Rates
New Caledonia's currency is the South Pacific Franc (CFP or XFP).
You'll probably feel weak in the knees the first time you see a bill in CFP because one CFP is like One Cent so $10 would be CFP1,000 and a nice dinner in one of the better restaurants might set you back CFP 10,000 per person. The CFP is fixed to the Euro (1 Eruo = 119 CFP) and varies in value compared to other currencies accordingly. The converter below will give you today's rate in any currency.
