All about Bahamian currency

A quick guide to money in the Bahamas

The Bahamian Dollar (BSD) has been the official currency of the Bahamas since 1966, replacing the Bahamian pound. Pegged 1:1 with the U.S. Dollar, the BSD is widely accepted alongside USD throughout the islands, making it easy for travellers to navigate expenses.

Bahamian notes and coins

Bahamian coins come in 1¢, 5¢, 10¢, 15¢, 25¢, and $1 denominations, each adorned with charming images like pineapples and starfish. 

The notes, ranging from $1 to $100, are works of art—literally. 

Featuring depictions of national heroes, historical landmarks, and the Bahamas’ natural beauty, these notes are as Instagrammable as the beaches.

Fun facts about Bahamian cash

  • Bahamian coins feature designs inspired by the country’s natural beauty, including images of sea creatures like fish, conch shells, and crawfish.
  • Bahamian banknotes showcase important historical figures such as Sir Lynden Pindling and Queen Elizabeth II, along with symbols of Bahamian culture, including the national coat of arms and local landmarks.

Travel Money Trivia - Bahamas edition

  • 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.
