Converting from Cayman Islands Dollar (KYD) to Bulgarian Lev (BGN)

What is Cayman Islands Dollar (KYD)

The Cayman Islands Dollar (KYD) is the official currency of the Cayman Islands, a British Overseas Territory located in the Caribbean. Known for its strong financial sector, the Cayman Islands is a popular destination for tourists and businesses alike. The currency symbol for the Cayman Islands Dollar is ＄ or CI＄, and it is subdivided into 100 cents.

The KYD is pegged to the U.S. Dollar at a fixed rate of 1 KYD = 1.20 USD, which makes it stable against one of the world’s strongest currencies. This stable exchange rate contributes to the Cayman Islands’ appeal as an investment hub. The banknotes include denominations of 1, 5, 10, 25, and 100 dollars, while coins are available in 1, 5, 10, 25 cents, and 1 dollar.

Using the KYD in the Cayman Islands is straightforward, especially as many businesses and services accept U.S. dollars as well. However, for accurate financial transactions, knowing the exact KYD amount is essential for budgeting and compliance with local regulations.

What is Bulgarian Lev (BGN)

The Bulgarian Lev (BGN) is the official currency of Bulgaria, a country located in Southeast Europe. The Lev has been the currency since 1880, and its name derives from the lion, a symbol of strength. The currency is subdivided into 100 stotinki, with the symbol for the Lev being лв (the Latinized form is BGN).

Bulgaria’s economy has undergone significant changes since the transition from a planned economy to a market-oriented system in the early 1990s. The Bulgarian Lev was previously pegged to the Deutsche Mark and later to the Euro, providing relative stability for its users. The Lev was introduced to replace the old currency at a rate of 1 Lev = 1,000 old Lev in 1999, and it continues to play a vital role in the country’s economic transactions.

Bulgaria is a member of the European Union, and while it has not yet adopted the Euro, the Lev remains an essential part of the economy. Banknotes come in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 Leva, while coins are available in 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 stotinki.
