Barbados Dollar

Encyclopedia : B : BA : BAR : Barbados Dollar

The Barbados dollar (currency code BBD) has been the currency of Barbados since 1972. It is normally abbreviated with the dollar sign $, or alternatively Bds$ to distinguish it from other dollar-denominated currencies. It is divided into 100 cents.

Barbados dollar is pegged to the US dollar at USD1= BBD1.98 since July 5, 1975.

The Barbados dollar was created after the establishment of the Central Bank of Barbados (CBB), which was founded by Act of parliament in May, 1972. Prior to this, Barbados and several other islands in the Eastern Caribbean were under the Eastern Caribbean Currency Authority (ECCA.) Before the Barbados dollar, the Eastern Caribbean dollar was used as the national currency.

Many coins in circulation of Barbados are struck at the Royal Canadian Mint.
