Converting from Euro (EUR) to Bermuda Dollar (BMD)

What is Euro (EUR)

The Euro (EUR) is the official currency of the Eurozone, which consists of 19 of the 27 European Union (EU) member countries. It was introduced in 1999 as an electronic currency and became physical currency in 2002 with the release of Euro banknotes and coins. The symbol for the Euro is €.

The Euro is one of the most widely used currencies in the world, serving as the second most traded currency after the United States Dollar (USD). The main goal of the Euro is to facilitate trade, travel, and investment between European nations by creating a stable and commonly accepted currency.

The Euro is managed by the European Central Bank (ECB) and is an important part of the economic stability within Europe. It also plays a significant role in global finance and commerce, being used by millions of people for both everyday transactions and larger financial activities.

What is Bermuda Dollar (BMD)

The Bermuda Dollar (BMD) is the official currency of Bermuda, a British Overseas Territory in the North Atlantic Ocean. The Bermuda Dollar was introduced in 1970 and is pegged to the United States Dollar (USD) at a 1:1 exchange rate. This means that one Bermuda Dollar is always worth one US Dollar, which simplifies transactions for visitors and businesses.

The symbol for the Bermuda Dollar is ＄ (sometimes BMD is used to avoid confusion). The currency is widely accepted throughout the island, and tourists will find it convenient, as many businesses accept USD as well. However, it is recommended to use Bermuda Dollars for local transactions to avoid unfavorable exchange rates.

In Bermuda, the currency is issued in various denominations, including coins and banknotes. The most commonly used coins are in denominations of 1¢, 5¢, 10¢, 25¢, and ＄1, while banknotes come in ＄2, ＄5, ＄10, ＄20, ＄50 and ＄100.
