This is not hot news really as the money won't be in circulation for quite some time, but there will be new coins and notes for Fiji money coming up.

The new designs sound innocuous enough and non-political, plants and animals. Some of the earlier Fiji notes and coins were much more interesting. Here's a few of them.
