The Guyanese dollar is the official currency of Guyana. Currency code: GYD. In Guyana, the national currency is the Guyanese dollar. It is split into 100 cents. The international letter designation o...f the currency is GYD, and its symbol is G$. In terms of denominations of coins and banknotes, the Guyanese dollar is not very diverse when compared with other currencies. So, you can find large denominations of 1000 and 500 dollars, and small denominations of 100 and 20. Coins are presented in only three types: 1, 5 and 10 dollars. A few years ago (in 2013) the authorities introduced the $5,000 bill. The cooperative republic of Guyana was colonized by Britain for a certain time. In those years, the state of Guyana was called British Guiana. The East Caribbean dollar was then used as the currency. It was a recognized unit of the OECS (Organization of the Eastern Caribbean States). Since the mid-60s of the last century, during the period of the states struggle for independence, the Bank of Guyana decides to put into circulation its own national currency of the country. This currency was the Guyanese dollar. Then it exchanged with the OECS dollar at a one-to-one rate.
