Coins and notes
Bahamians love their banknotes and coins. Bahamas coins include 1c, 5c, 10c, 15c, 25c, $1 and $2, while Bahamas banknotes are available in $½, $1, $3, $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 denominations.
Make sure you bring a roomy wallet to carry all your Bahamain currency.
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.
