Converting from Barbados Dollar (BBD) to Bulgarian Lev (BGN)

What is Barbados Dollar (BBD)

The Barbados Dollar (BBD) is the official currency of Barbados, an island nation in the Caribbean. It is abbreviated as BBD and is often represented by the symbol “＄” or “Bds＄” to distinguish it from other dollar-denominated currencies. The Barbados Dollar is subdivided into 100 cents.

The currency was introduced in 1939, replacing the British West Indies dollar at par. The BBD is pegged to the United States Dollar (USD), maintaining a fixed exchange rate. This stability helps facilitate trade and tourism, which are vital to the Barbadian economy.

The Barbados Dollar is widely used across the island, and banknotes are available in denominations of ＄2, ＄5, ＄10, ＄20, ＄50 and ＄100. Coins are in denominations of 1 cent, 5 cents, 10 cents, 25 cents, and 1 dollar. The design of the banknotes features images significant to Barbadian culture, such as the national flower, the "Pride of Barbados," and notable historical figures.
