Barbados flag Barbados

The Barbadian Dollar (BBD), also known as the Bajan Dollar, is the official currency of Barbados. It is issued by the Central Bank of Barbados and has been pegged to the U.S. Dollar (USD) at a fixed rate of 1 BBD = 0.50 USD since 1975. This stable exchange rate helps maintain economic confidence and supports the island’s tourism-driven economy. The Barbadian Dollar is subdivided into 100 cents, with banknotes available in denominations ranging from $2 to $100 and coins in values from 1 cent to $1. While the BBD is the primary currency, USD is widely accepted in Barbados, particularly in tourist areas.
