The Bahamas uses the Bahamian dollar, written as BSD. It’s pegged to the U.S. dollar at a one-to-one rate, which makes travel super easy for Americans. Both Bahamian and U.S. dollars are accepted everywhere, often interchangeably. The bills are colorful and show marine life, local scenes, and national heroes. Cash is used a lot, but credit cards work fine at hotels and restaurants. Coins are often decorated with island symbols like starfish and pineapples. The Bahamian dollar keeps the islands connected financially to both tourism and local life.
