Converting from Bahamian Dollar (BSD) to Mozambican Metical (MZN)

What is Bahamian Dollar (BSD)

This close relationship with the USD makes the Bahamian Dollar a stable currency, benefiting the tourism-heavy economy of the Bahamas.

The BSD is subdivided into 100 cents, with coins available in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 15, 25 cents, and ＄1. Banknotes come in ＄1, ＄5, ＄10, ＄20, ＄50, and ＄100 denominations, featuring prominent Bahamian figures and representations of the nation's culture and environment. The Bahamian Dollar is widely accepted in the country, and it is also used by some businesses in the neighboring Caribbean nations.
