The Suriname dollar is the currency of the Republic of Suriname.

In 1940, after the occupation of the Netherlands by Germany, the Surinamese guilder was pegged to the US dollar at a ratio of 1.88585 guilders to 1 dollar. High inflation in the early 1990s caused the Surinamese guilder to depreciate catastrophically, prompting a monetary reform.
