BBD (Barbadian dollar) is the national currency of the Caribbean island nation of Barbados. Barbados is an island nation in the Lesser Antilles off the coast of South America. Both the Spanish and th...e Portuguese claimed the island during their periods of colonial expansion, but it was the British who later established a colony there in 1627. Since 1949, with the introduction of the British West Indies dollar, the currency of Barbados has become officially associated with the activities of the British Eastern Caribbean and the territory as a whole. Between 1938 and 1949, the government of Barbados issued paper banknotes in dollars. The last private bank notes were issued in 1949. British pound sterling coins were replaced with new coins in 1955. In 1965, the East Caribbean dollar replaced the British West Indies dollar in Barbados.
