About the currency
Coins and notes
In case a trip to Brunei wasn’t relaxing enough, the currency is so close to the New Zealand dollar that in the right light you wouldn’t tell them apart. Well maybe they don’t look that similar, but the core concept is the exact same.
Coins range through 1, 5, 10, 20 and 50 cents, then the notes take over with $1, $5, $10, $50 and $100. No difficult conversions to do when you walk up to a register, no more confusion over bizarre currencies. Honestly, could a trip there be any easier?
Facts about the currency
- Brunei once used shells and bronze teapots as currency. Imagine how much money you’d make with a walk along the beach!
- All BND banknotes show the denomination in Malay and English. That’s right, your bank notes are even printed in English. You’re welcome.
- Every note has a different rainforest theme. Yes, even their money is relaxing.
- There have been a series of commemorative banknotes to celebrate the currency agreement with Singapore. If you’re lucky, you might find some!
