About Icelandic Krona (kr)
The Icelandic Króna (ISK, ISO 4217 code 352, symbol kr) is the official currency of Iceland, issued by the Central Bank of Iceland (Seðlabanki Íslands, est. 1961). Subdivided into 100 aurar (singular: eyrir, plural: aurar — no longer in circulation since 2003). Banknotes: kr500 (poetess Jónas Hallgrímsson), kr1,000 (Bishop Brynjólfur Sveinsson), kr2,000 (painter Jóhannes Sveinsson Kjarval), kr5,000 (suffragist Ragnheiður Jónsdóttir), kr10,000 (poet Jónas Hallgrímsson, introduced October 2013 — the highest denomination); coins: kr1, kr5, kr10, kr50, kr100. The króna was famously the only OECD national currency to declare formal default during the Global Financial Crisis — Iceland's three largest banks (Glitnir, Landsbanki, Kaupthing) collapsed October 2008, ISK lost ~50% of its value, and Iceland imposed capital controls (lifted gradually 2016-2017). Iceland is not in the EU (twice rejected EU accession — 2002 referendum, 2013 accession freeze under PM Gunnlaugsson) and uses ISK as its sole legal tender. The Seðlabanki targets 2.5% CPI inflation per the Inflation-Targeting framework adopted March 2001. Iceland has ~390,000 population and is one of the world's wealthiest per-capita nations.
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.
