萬納度於 2002 年設立「傳統貨幣銀行」（Traditional Money Bank in Vanuatu Project, TMBV），而全國最大的金融網絡信用合作社（Vanuatu Credit Union）也設立傳統貨幣與現金兌換的機制。俗稱「豬銀行計畫」（the Pig Bank Project），因為最普遍的傳統財富以豬為代表。除了豬之外，還有蓆子、山藥等區域地方貨幣。圖為一位銀行抄寫員在掛滿豬獠牙的房間中，記錄新近的存取款紀錄。
Vanuatu established the Traditional Money Bank in Vanuatu Project (TMVB) in 2002; while the nation’s largest financial network, the Vanuatu Credit Union, also established an exchange mechanism for the traditional currency and cash with the Pig Bank Project, as pigs are the most prevalent representation of traditional wealth. In addition to pigs, woven mats and Chinese yams also function as regional currencies. A scribe in the pig bank notes new deposits and withdrawls in a room of hanging pig tusks.
