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 South Korean Won (₩)
The South Korean Won (KRW, ISO 4217 code 410, symbol ₩) is the official currency of the Republic of Korea, issued by the Bank of Korea (BoK, est. 1950). Subdivided into 100 jeon (no longer in circulation). Banknotes: ₩1,000 (Yi Hwang), ₩5,000 (Yi I), ₩10,000 (King Sejong the Great), ₩50,000 (Sin Saimdang — the first Korean banknote featuring a woman, since 2009); coins: ₩10, ₩50, ₩100, ₩500 (₩1 and ₩5 coins withdrawn from circulation, technically still legal tender). North Korea uses a separate Won (KPW), not internationally tradable. KRW is freely floating but the BoK occasionally intervenes — the 'kimchi premium' on cryptocurrency (Korean BTC trading 5-30% above global average) results from capital-controls residue. South Korea is the world's 10th-largest economy by nominal GDP (~$1.8T) and the home of Samsung, LG, Hyundai-Kia, SK Hynix, and Posco — Korean exports (chips, autos, ships) drive significant USD/KRW FX flows. The BoK targets 2% CPI inflation per the inflation-targeting framework adopted in 1998.
