Converting from Barbados Dollar (BBD) to Comoros Franc (KMF)

What is Barbados Dollar (BBD)

The Barbados Dollar (BBD) is the official currency of Barbados, an island nation located in the Caribbean. It was introduced in 1973, replacing the Barbadian pound at a rate of 2 BBD for 1 pound. The BBD is symbolized by “＄”, although it is commonly distinguished as BDS＄ or BBD to avoid confusion with other dollar-denominated currencies.

The Barbados Dollar is divided into 100 cents. The currency is issued by the Central Bank of Barbados and is available in both coins and banknotes. Common coin denominations include 1, 5, 10, 25 cents, and 1 and 2 dollars. The banknotes come in denominations of 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 dollars.

Due to its stable economy and sound financial practices, the BBD is pegged to the United States Dollar at a rate of approximately 2 BBD to 1 USD. This stability makes it a reliable currency for transactions within Barbados and with international partners.

What is Comoros Franc (KMF)

The Comoros Franc (KMF) is the official currency of the Comoros, an archipelago located in the Indian Ocean off the east coast of Africa. The Comoros Franc was introduced in 1970 and has since been the legal tender used for all transactions in the region. The currency is often abbreviated as KMF and is denoted with the symbol “₣”.

The Comoros Franc is subdivided into 100 centimes; however, centime coins are rarely used due to their low value. The KMF is issued by the Bank Central des Comores and is available in various denominations for both coins and banknotes. Currently, the coins include denominations of 1, 5, 10, and 20 francs, while the banknotes are available in 500, 1,000, 2,000, and higher denominations.

One unique feature of the Comoros economy is its reliance on agriculture, particularly the production of vanilla, ylang-ylang, and cloves. The KMF's exchange rate can fluctuate depending on various factors, which may include trade balances and economic conditions in the region.
