Facts about Barbados Currency

  • The Barbados Dollar is fixed to the USD at a rate of 1USD = 1.98 BBD. This means it doesn’t fluctuate against the USD, and only changes based on a foreign currency’s fluctuation relative to the US dollar.
  • In 2002, a $5 note bearing the words “To commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Central Bank of Barbados” was introduced. Reportedly, only 1,000 notes were issued, and you had to be a bank employee to receive one.
  • In May 2013, the Central Bank of Barbados introduced redesigned banknotes for the first time in 40 years.
  • Tactile marks were added to the new notes to help people with low vision.
