Vanuatu vatu
Vt
The vatu (abbreviation: VT; ISO code: VUV) is the currency of Vanuatu. The vatu has no subdivisions.The term vatu, used in all three official languages of Vanuatu, was borrowed from the word for "stone" in some indigenous languages (such as Raga vatu). Ultimately, it descends from Proto-Oceanic *patu, from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian and Proto-Austronesian *batu of the same meaning.

New Hebrides
The two countries eventually signed an agreement making the islands an Anglo-French condominium that divided New Hebrides into two separate communities: one Anglophone and one Francophone. That divide continued even after independence, with schools teaching in either one language or the other, and with different political parties. The condominium lasted from 1906 until 1980, when New Hebrides gained its independence as the Republic of Vanuatu.
