| Description | A call to issue coinage for an independent Kiribati in 1979 was made to legitimize its new political status, and although Australian banknotes would be used, the decision to issue domestic coins was widely favored and accepted. A two dollar coin was later introduced to replace the note and celebrate the nation's tenth anniversary. Kiribati's first coins were introduced in 1979 following independence and were directly pegged to the Australian dollar. The coins were issued in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 cents, and 1 dollar. |
