About Barbadian Dollar (Bds$)
The Barbadian Dollar (BBD, ISO 4217 code 052, symbol Bds$ or simply $) is the official currency of Barbados — an island nation in the Caribbean, the easternmost of the Caribbean islands. Issued by the Central Bank of Barbados (CBB, est. 1972). Subdivided into 100 cents. Banknotes: Bds$2, Bds$5, Bds$10, Bds$20, Bds$50, Bds$100 (the highest denomination; current 'Heritage Series' introduced 2013 features Barbadian national heroes and landmarks — Sir John Saint Aubyn Goddard, Charles Duncan O'Neal, Sir Grantley Adams, Errol Walton Barrow, Sir Frank Worrell, Sir Hugh Springer, Bridgetown Garrison Historic Area UNESCO site); coins: 1¢, 5¢, 10¢, 25¢, Bds$1. BBD has been pegged to the US dollar at exactly Bds$2 per USD since July 5, 1975 (one of the longest-standing fixed exchange-rate regimes in the world, surviving even Barbados's 2018-2019 IMF Extended Fund Facility program). Barbados is a high-income economy by Caribbean standards (~$5.5B GDP, ~280,000 population) driven primarily by tourism (~700,000 visitors annually, primarily from UK + US + Canada) and offshore financial services. Barbados became a republic on November 30, 2021 — removing Queen Elizabeth II as head of state and electing Dame Sandra Mason as the first President.
