The currency of Bhutan is the ngultrum (BTN). This currency has been in circulation since 1974, replacing the Indian rupee, which continues to be accepted alongside the ngultrum. The ngultrum is further divided into 100 chhertum, and its value is pegged to the Indian rupee, which reflects Bhutan’s close economic ties with India. The design of ngultrum notes often features various cultural and historical themes, including prominent figures and national landmarks. Travelers visiting Bhutan will find the ngultrum to be essential for daily transactions within the country.
