Converting from East Caribbean Dollar (XCD) to Surinamese Dollar (SRD)

What is East Caribbean Dollar (XCD)

The East Caribbean Dollar (XCD) is the official currency of several countries and territories located in the Eastern Caribbean. It was introduced in 1983 as a response to the need for a common currency in this region, which includes nations like Saint Kitts and Nevis, Dominica, Saint Lucia, and Grenada, among others. The East Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB), headquartered in Saint Kitts, is responsible for the issuance and regulation of the East Caribbean Dollar.

The XCD is subdivided into 100 cents, and it comes in both coins and banknotes. Coins are available in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 25 cents, and 1 dollar, while banknotes come in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 dollars. The symbol for the East Caribbean Dollar is usually represented as ＄ or EC＄ to differentiate it from other dollar-denominated currencies.

As of the latest data, the exchange rate fluctuates, influenced by various economic factors including tourism, trade, and monetary policy within the region. When considering converting XCD to another currency, it’s important to be aware of the current exchange rates, which can be affected by global market trends.
