About US Dollar ($)
The US Dollar (USD, ISO 4217 code 840) is the official currency of the United States, issued by the Federal Reserve System (the US central bank, est. 1913). Subdivided into 100 cents. Banknotes circulate in $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100 denominations; coins in 1¢ (penny), 5¢ (nickel), 10¢ (dime), 25¢ (quarter), 50¢, $1. USD is the world's primary reserve currency (~58% of global FX reserves per IMF COFER Q1 2024), the dominant currency in international trade (~88% of foreign-exchange transactions involve USD per BIS Triennial Survey 2022), and the unit of pricing for global commodities (oil, gold, copper, wheat). Also legal tender in Ecuador, El Salvador (alongside Bitcoin since 2021), Panama (alongside Balboa), Zimbabwe, East Timor, and a dozen Pacific island nations. The Federal Reserve targets 2% PCE inflation per its dual mandate (price stability + maximum employment) per the Federal Reserve Act + Humphrey-Hawkins Act 1978.
About Bahraini Dinar (.د.ب)
The Bahraini Dinar (BHD, ISO 4217 code 048, symbol .د.ب or BD) is the official currency of the Kingdom of Bahrain, issued by the Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB, est. 2006 as successor to Bahrain Monetary Agency est. 1973). Subdivided into 1,000 fils (one of only a handful of currencies subdivided into thousandths rather than hundredths). Banknotes: ½ BD, 1 BD, 5 BD, 10 BD, 20 BD (the highest denomination; current 5th series introduced 2008 features traditional Bahraini themes — Bahrain World Trade Center, pearl-diving heritage, Bahraini International Circuit, Tree of Life); coins: 5 fils, 10 fils, 25 fils, 50 fils, 100 fils, 500 fils. BHD is pegged to USD at BD0.376 per USD (or USD2.66 per BD) since December 1980 — making BHD the world's 2nd-highest-valued circulating currency by face value (after KWD). Bahrain is the smallest Gulf state by area (~780 km²) but a major banking/finance regional center hosting ~400 financial institutions. Oil + gas account for ~70% of Bahraini government revenue but only ~18% of GDP (more diversified than other Gulf economies).
