About Bahamian Dollar (B$)

The Bahamian Dollar (BSD, ISO 4217 code 044, symbol B$ or simply $) is the official currency of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas โ€” an archipelagic country of ~700 islands off the southeastern coast of Florida. Issued by the Central Bank of The Bahamas (CBB, est. 1974). Subdivided into 100 cents. Banknotes: B$0.50, B$1, B$3 (an unusual denomination!), B$5, B$10, B$20, B$50, B$100 (the highest denomination; current 'CRISP Evolution' series introduced 2016-2019 features Bahamian historical figures and natural beauty โ€” Sir Lynden Pindling (first prime minister), Sir Etienne Dupuch, Sir Milo Butler, Roland Symonette, the Sand Dollar โ€” the world's first official CBDC representation, Atlantis Resort Paradise Island); coins: 1ยข, 5ยข, 10ยข, 15ยข (rare), 25ยข. BSD is pegged to USD at 1:1 since 1973 (when The Bahamas gained independence from the UK), and US dollars are widely accepted alongside Bahamian dollars throughout the islands. The Bahamas was the first country in the world to launch a retail Central Bank Digital Currency โ€” the Sand Dollar โ€” on October 20, 2020 (predating the Chinese e-CNY and Nigerian eNaira retail launches). The economy is dominated by tourism (~50% of GDP, ~7 million visitors annually) and offshore financial services.

About Australian Dollar (A$)

The Australian Dollar (AUD, ISO 4217 code 036, symbol A$) is the official currency of the Commonwealth of Australia, issued by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA, est. 1960). Subdivided into 100 cents. Banknotes are made of polymer (Australia was the first country to introduce polymer notes nationwide, in 1988): A$5 (Queen Elizabeth II โ†’ King Charles III planned), A$10, A$20, A$50, A$100; coins: 5ยข, 10ยข, 20ยข, 50ยข, A$1, A$2 (1ยข and 2ยข coins withdrawn 1992). Also legal tender or de facto in Christmas Island, Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Norfolk Island, Tuvalu, Kiribati, Nauru, and the Australian Antarctic Territory. AUD is heavily correlated with commodity prices โ€” Australia is a major exporter of iron ore (largest globally), coal, LNG, gold, copper, and wheat. The RBA targets 2-3% CPI inflation over the medium term per the 1996 Statement on the Conduct of Monetary Policy. AUD is the world's 5th-most-traded currency per BIS Triennial Survey 2022 (6.8% of global FX turnover).
