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 Sea. The currency code for the Cayman Islands Dollar is KYD, and its symbol is often represented as ＄ or CI＄. The KYD was introduced in 1972, replacing the Jamaican Dollar at a fixed exchange rate. The Caymans have a strong economy, primarily driven by tourism and financial services, which helps maintain the stability of their currency.

One Cayman Islands Dollar is subdivided into 100 cents. The exchange rate for the KYD can be relatively stable, often trading around 1 KYD to 1.2 USD. This stability attracts many investors and travelers, making the Cayman Islands a popular destination for those seeking a safe place to invest or vacation.

In transactions, KYD banknotes come in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 25, and 50 dollars, while coins are available in 1, 5, 10, and 25 cents, as well as 1 and 5 dollar coins. The currency is widely accepted within the islands, and most businesses do not hesitate to accept US dollars due to the high volume of American tourists.
