Description
The Barbadian dollar is the official currency of Barbados, a Caribbean island nation. Issued by the Central Bank of Barbados, it is subdivided into 100 cents and is commonly denoted by the symbol "$" or "BBD$" to avoid confusion with other dollar currencies.
The currency has been pegged to the United States dollar at a fixed rate of 2 Barbadian dollars to 1 US dollar since 1975, providing stability for trade and tourism, which are the backbone of the Barbadian economy. While the name and symbols are in English, the local usage sometimes includes the term "Barbadian dollar" in both formal and informal contexts.
