Converting from Liberian Dollar (LRD) to Bahamian Dollar (BSD)

What is Liberian Dollar (LRD)

The Liberian Dollar (LRD) is the official currency of Liberia, a country located on the West African coast. It was introduced in 1943, replacing the Liberian pound at parity. The currency is subdivided into 100 cents. The symbol for the Liberian Dollar is ＄ or L＄ to distinguish it from other dollar-denominated currencies.

The Central Bank of Liberia is responsible for issuing and regulating the currency. The bank has introduced various denominations in both coins and banknotes, with notes available in values such as L＄5, L＄10, L＄20, L＄50, L＄100, and L＄500. The design of the banknotes features notable historical figures and cultural symbols, aiming to reflect Liberia's rich heritage.

However, the Liberian economy has faced challenges, including inflation and a reliance on imported goods. As a result, the exchange rate of the Liberian Dollar against other currencies can fluctuate significantly. As of recent data, the LRD is often traded at a rate far below the US Dollar (USD), which is also widely accepted in Liberia.

It was established in 1966 to replace the Bahamian pound, and it is pegged to the US Dollar at a constant rate of 1:1.

The Bahamian Dollar is represented by the symbol ＄ or B＄ to differentiate it from other dollar currencies. It is subdivided into 100 cents. The Central Bank of The Bahamas issues and manages the currency, providing various denominations in banknotes, such as B＄1, B＄5, B＄10, B＄20, B＄50, and B＄100.
