The
currency of Aruba. This
currency was introduced in 1986 upon Aruba's independence from Netherlands Antilles. The florin replaced the
Netherlands Antilles guilder at a 1:1 ratio. Like the guilder, however, the florin is
pegged to the
U.S. dollar at a rate of 1.79 florins to 1 dollar; this peg is identical to the Netherlands Antilles guilder.
