Converting from Belize Dollar (BZD) to Malaysian Ringgit (MYR)

What is Belize Dollar (BZD)

The Belize Dollar (BZD) is the official currency of Belize, a small country located on the eastern coast of Central America. The Belize Dollar is subdivided into 100 cents. It is important to note that the currency symbol for the Belize Dollar is ＄ or BZ＄, while the code for the currency is BZD.

The Belize Dollar was introduced in 1981, replacing the British Honduras Dollar at a fixed rate of 2 BZD for every 1 British Honduras Dollar. The BZD is pegged to the US Dollar (USD) at a rate of 2 BZD to 1 USD, meaning that it maintains a stable value relative to the dollar. This peg provides some stability for trade and investment in Belize.

In terms of its denominations, the Belize Dollar is available in both coins and banknotes. The coins include 1, 5, 10, 25 cents, and 1 dollar, while the banknotes come in 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 dollar denominations. The banknotes feature prominent figures and scenes from Belize's history and culture, making them visually appealing and informative.

However, the modern form of the currency we know today as the Ringgit was introduced in 1975, replacing the Malaya and British Borneo dollar. The Malaysian Ringgit is not pegged to any foreign currency, which allows it to fluctuate based on market conditions, giving it a dynamic exchange rate.
