The gdyn (IPA: ɡɑːdʒɪn, Japanese: ガジン gajin, Russian: гаджин , gadzhin) is the official currency of Gandoor. It was introduced in 1779 amidst currency reforms in the Nzardom of Gandoor and replaced the non-decimal Gandoorese pound at a rate of two dollars to the pound. In 1910, it was declared that all denominations of the gdyn that had been discontinued prior to the 1904 establishment of the Democratic Republic were no longer considered legal tender, although citizens could have their old coins and banknotes transferred to post-1904 coinage and notes until 1930.

Banknotes

There are currently eight denominations of banknote printed in Gandoor.

Gandoorese banknotes were printed on paper until 2010, when the National Bank of Gandoor began issuing its first polymer banknotes, with the last polymer notes becoming available in October 2013. Despite the change to polymer notes, all paper banknotes will continue to be accepted as legal tender indefinitely.

On 17 February 2025, the National Bank of Gandoor revealed redesigns for all eight banknotes, with the new designs all having entered general circulation by August 2025, with the old designs to be gradually withdrawn since then.

The current designs feature new colours for all banknotes, with the exception of the five gdyn banknote, the first change in colour for Gandoorese banknotes since individually coloured notes were introduced in 1920.
