Australian Dollar to Barbadian dollar — exchange rate

The Australian dollar (symbol: $ ,code: AUD, number 036) is the currency of the Commonwealth of Australia. It is used not only on the territory of Australia, but also on the adjacent islands: Cocos Islands, Norfolk, and Christmas Islands. $ is identified as AUD or by the classic dollar sign on the global financial market.

One AUD is 100 cents. It has come into action in 1966, replacing the Australian pound. Since the late 80s, banknotes have been being made from special flexible plastic instead of paper. It makes money last longer in humid Australian climate. Interestingly, all banknotes have the same height, but are different in length. On the notes you can find portraits of historical and political figures, important buildings and objects. Australia also regularly issues commemorative coins worth 50 cents.

The Barbadian dollar (Bds$) is the currency used in the country of West India, Barbados. The national currency is abbreviated as BBD, and it is used to denote the currency on the international exchange markets. The Barbadian dollar is subdivided into cents.

One dollar equals 100 cents. First BBD as banknotes already appeared in 1882. In its present form, the $ currency was issued since 1972. In 2013, there has been issued an additional batch of banknotes with a new design. The rate of the Barbadian dollar is connected to fluctuations of the American dollar. It always makes the same ratio: 2 Barbadian cents to one US cent.
