The currency was introduced in 1986 and is pegged to the Singapore Dollar (SGD) at par, which means that 1 BND is equivalent to 1 SGD. The Brunei Dollar is divided into 100 cents and is symbolized by "＄" or "BND" to distinguish it from other dollar-denominated currencies.

Brunei's economy is heavily reliant on oil and gas exports, which help to maintain a stable currency. The Brunei Dollar is known for its relatively strong value compared to many other currencies, making it an attractive currency for exchange and investment.
