Encyclopedia : S : SO : SOL : Solomon Islands dollar
The
Solomon Islands dollar (
currency code SBD) is the
currency of
Solomon Islands since
1975. It is normally abbreviated with the
dollar sign $, or alternatively
SI$ to distinguish it from other
dollar-denominated currencies. It is divided into 100
cents.
History
For earlier currencies of the Solomon Islands, see Solomon Islands pound and Oceania pound.
The Solomon Islands dollar was introduced in 1975 to replace the Australian dollar at par, following independence. Over the 30 years of the dollar's separate existence, and especially during the civil war of 2000-2003, devaluation has taken its toll, with the Solomon Islands dollar now equal to 20 Australian cents.
