The gourde (French), goud (Kreyol) is the currency of Haiti.

Its ISO code is HTG and it is divided into 100 centimes (French) or santim (Creole) but in everyday Haitian creole, the gourde is really divided into "5 kob" increments... 5 kob, 10 kob. etc...

Many years ago 5 gourdes was equivalent to 1 U.S. dollar... Nor anymore...
