The florin is the official currency of Aruba. It is subdivided into 100 cents. The florin was introduced in 1986, replacing the Netherlands Antillean gulden at par.
Coins are in denominations of 5, 10, 25 and 50 cents, 1, 2½ and 5 florin, and banknotes are in denominations of 10, 25, 50, 100, and 500 florin. The square shaped 50-cent "yotin" coin is probably Aruba's best-known coin.
The currency has been pegged to the United States dollar at US$1 = 1.7900 florins since 1986.
