The Djiboutian franc is the official currency of Djibouti, a country located in the Horn of Africa. The franc is represented by the currency symbol "Fdj" and commonly abbreviated as DJF. There are no officially recognized synonyms for the Djiboutian franc, but it is often referred to simply as the Djibouti currency. Additionally, some people may refer to it as the Djiboutian dollar or Djiboutian pound, although these terms are incorrect as the country does not use either of those currencies. The Djiboutian franc is primarily used for day-to-day transactions within the country, and its exchange rate is primarily tied to the US dollar.
