Barbados uses the Barbadian dollar, written as BBD. It’s pegged to the U.S. dollar at two to one, making exchange rates easy to figure out. Locals call it just “the dollar,” and it’s accepted everywhere. You’ll find colorful banknotes with national heroes and the island’s coat of arms. Cash is still king for small things, but cards are welcome in hotels and restaurants. The stable peg to the U.S. dollar keeps the economy reliable for tourists and locals alike. The Barbadian dollar is a solid symbol of the island’s steady and proud economy.
