Converting from Bermuda Dollar (BMD) to Botswana Pula (BWP)

What is Bermuda Dollar (BMD)

The Bermuda Dollar (BMD) is the official currency of Bermuda, a British Overseas Territory in the North Atlantic Ocean. It was introduced in 1970, replacing the Bermudian pound at par. The Bermuda Dollar is pegged to the US Dollar (USD), meaning that one BMD is always equal to one USD. This peg helps stabilize the currency, making it easier for international trade and tourism, which are vital to Bermuda's economy.

The Bermuda Dollar is subdivided into 100 cents, with coins available in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 25 cents, and 1 BMD. Banknotes are issued in denominations of 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 BMD. The currency is widely used by both locals and tourists, and it's important to note that US dollars are also accepted in Bermuda. This makes it convenient for visitors who may not want to exchange their money.

What is Botswana Pula (BWP)

The Botswana Pula (BWP) is the official currency of Botswana, a landlocked country located in Southern Africa. The currency was introduced in 1976, replacing the South African Rand at par. The term "pula" means “rain” in Setswana, which is a reference to the country’s reliance on rain for agriculture. The pula is also a symbol of the country’s wealth, as rain is crucial for farming and sustenance.

Like the Bermuda Dollar, the Botswana Pula is subdivided into smaller units, specifically 100 thebe. Coins are available in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 25, and 50 thebe, as well as 1, 2, and 5 pula. Banknotes are issued in denominations of 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 pula. The Pula's value has remained relatively stable, which has helped maintain economic growth in Botswana, primarily driven by diamond mining and tourism.

Converting BMD to BWP

When converting Bermuda Dollars (BMD) to Botswana Pula (BWP), it’s important to check the current exchange rate as it fluctuates daily based on market dynamics. The conversion can be calculated using the formula:

For example, if the exchange rate is 1 BMD = 12 BWP, then to convert 100 BMD into Pula, you would perform the following calculation:

100 BMD × 12 ❰ (BWP/BMD) ❱ = 1200 BWP
