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.
About Swedish Krona (kr)
The Swedish Krona (SEK, ISO 4217 code 752, symbol kr) is the official currency of Sweden, issued by the Sveriges Riksbank (est. 1668 — the world's oldest still-operating central bank, predating the Bank of England by 26 years). Subdivided into 100 öre (the 5 öre coin was last used 1972, then 25/50 öre to 2010). Banknotes: 20 kr (Astrid Lindgren), 50 kr (Evert Taube), 100 kr (Greta Garbo), 200 kr (Ingmar Bergman), 500 kr (Birgit Nilsson — the most valuable opera-soprano-featuring banknote in Europe), 1000 kr (Dag Hammarskjöld); coins: 1 kr, 2 kr, 5 kr, 10 kr. Sweden joined the EU in 1995 but voted against joining the Eurozone in a 2003 referendum (56% No).

The Riksbank targets 2% CPI inflation per its 1993 inflation-targeting framework.
