Investopedia explains 'DJF'

Djibouti is situated on the Gulf of Aden and is sandwiched between Somalia, Ethiopia and Eritrea. Because the country was formerly a colony of France, the djibouti was legally linked to the value of the French franc in 1908. It became an independent currency, and was pegged to the U.S. dollar, in 1949.
