Facts about the currency

  • The $100BSD note is called a “blue marlin” by locals because it shows the national fish on the back.
  • In 2005, CRISP banknotes were introduced. CRISP stands for Counterfeit Resistant Integrated Security Product.
  • The 25c coin has a picture of a native sloop (a sailing boat) on it.
  • A few years ago, images of prominent Bahamians replaced the image of Queen Elizabeth II (Head of State) on all Bahamas banknotes.
  • This is changing back again, with the Queen’s portrait appearing back on the B$10 note recently.
