Converting from Bermuda Dollar (BMD) to Neth Antilles Guilder (ANG)

What is Bermuda Dollar (BMD)

The Bermuda Dollar (BMD) is the official currency of Bermuda, a British Overseas Territory in the North Atlantic Ocean. Introduced in 1970, the BMD is pegged to the US Dollar (USD) at a 1:1 ratio. This means that the value of 1 BMD is equal to 1 USD, making it an easy currency for international transactions, especially for those dealing with Americans or American businesses.

The currency is denoted by the symbol "＄" and uses the ISO code BMD. Bermuda Dollar banknotes come in several denominations, including ＄2, ＄5, ＄10, ＄20, ＄50 and ＄100. Coins are available in smaller denominations, including 1, 5, 10, 25 cents, and ＄1. The BMD is widely accepted within Bermuda for all types of purchases, from everyday items at local shops to luxury goods in tourist areas.

The currency's stability can be attributed to Bermuda's robust economy, which is primarily driven by tourism and international finance. This economic foundation helps maintain public confidence in the BMD and ensures its ongoing viability as a currency.

What is Neth Antilles Guilder (ANG)

The Neth Antilles Guilder (ANG) was the currency used in the former Netherlands Antilles, a group of Caribbean islands that included Aruba, Curacao, Sint Maarten, and several smaller islands. The ANG was established in 1986 and replaced the Netherlands Antillean Florin. Like the BMD, the Neth Antilles Guilder is also a stable currency but has a different peg compared to the USD.

The symbol for the ANG is also "＄", but it is often represented as "ƒ" to distinguish it from the Bermuda Dollar. The ISO code for the Neth Antilles Guilder is ANG. The currency was available in various denominations, including banknotes of 10, 25, 50, 100, and 250 guilders, and coins in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 25 cents and 1 guilder.

In 2010, the Netherlands Antilles was dissolved, and the islands separated into different entities. Curaçao and Sint Maarten adopted the ANG as their official currency; however, Aruba has its currency, the Aruban Florin. Consequently, the ANG's circulation primarily remains among these two islands.

Converting between the Bermuda Dollar and the Neth Antilles Guilder can be necessary for travelers and businesses operating in the Caribbean. The exchange rate fluctuates due to market conditions, but you can typically find reliable rates through currency exchange services or banks.

For a rough guide, if you want to convert BMD to ANG using an exchange rate (let's assume the rate is ＄1 BMD = ＄1.80 ANG), you can use the conversion formula:

Amount in ANG = Amount in BMD × 1.80
