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 — 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 — Sir Lynden Pindling (first prime minister), Sir Etienne Dupuch, Sir Milo Butler, Roland Symonette, the Sand Dollar — the world's first official CBDC representation, Atlantis Resort Paradise Island); coins: 1¢, 5¢, 10¢, 15¢ (rare), 25¢. 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.
