About Barbadian Dollar Exchange

The Barbadian Dollar (BBD) is the official currency of Barbados, a small island nation in the eastern Caribbean. We accept all denominations of Barbadian Dollar banknotes and coins, including older series and damaged notes.

Current Barbadian Banknotes

The current series of Barbadian Dollar banknotes, issued from 2013 onwards, features iconic Barbadian landmarks and heritage sites across a range of denominations. We exchange all of them, including the 50 Barbadian Dollar note depicting the Independence Buildings and the 100 Barbadian Dollar note featuring Grantley Adams International Airport. Whether you’ve returned from Bridgetown with a handful of smaller notes or a few higher-value ones, we’ll exchange the lot.

Old Series & Damaged Notes

Unlike most high street exchanges, we also buy older series Barbadian Dollar banknotes, including issues dating back to the 1970s and 1980s, such as the 100 Barbados Dollar banknote issued in 1973 and the 50 Barbados Dollar banknote issued in 1989. Damaged notes are also accepted, provided they remain at least 50% intact, though the rate offered may be slightly lower than for undamaged currency.

Barbadian Dollar Coins

We accept Barbadian Dollar coins across a range of denominations, including cents and dollar coins, such as the 1 Barbadian Dollar coin and smaller denominations including the 25 cent coin. As with most foreign coins, the exchange rate is slightly lower than for banknotes due to the additional handling involved, but we won’t turn them away as most banks would. If you also have leftover currency from elsewhere in the Caribbean, we exchange Eastern Caribbean Dollars and Jamaican Dollars too.

Barbadian Dollar Exchange FAQ

Are older Barbadian Dollar banknotes from the 1970s and 1980s still exchangeable?

Yes, we accept older series Barbadian Dollar banknotes, including issues from the 1970s and 1980s that are no longer in circulation. These withdrawn notes are accepted at a slightly lower rate than current series banknotes, and as long as a note is at least 50% intact, we’ll make you an offer.

Do you accept Barbadian Dollar coins as well as banknotes?

Yes, we accept a range of Barbadian Dollar coins, including cent denominations and the 1 Dollar coin. Coins are exchanged at a slightly lower rate than banknotes due to the extra handling costs involved, but unlike most banks, we won’t ask you to leave them behind.

Is the Barbadian Dollar pegged to any other currency?

Yes, the Barbadian Dollar has been pegged to the US Dollar at a fixed rate of 2 BBD to 1 USD since 1975. This peg means the BBD exchange rate is relatively stable, though the rate we offer will still reflect current market conditions and handling costs.

How do I send my Barbadian Dollars to you and when will I be paid?

Simply box up your Barbadian Dollar banknotes and coins and post them to us yourself — many customers returning from Barbados find this far more convenient than hunting for a local exchange. Once we receive and verify your currency, we’ll pay you within 5 working days by bank transfer or PayPal. If you’re not happy with the rate we offer, we’ll return your currency to you free of charge.

Can I exchange Barbadian Dollars if the notes are torn or damaged?

Yes, we do accept damaged Barbadian Dollar notes, provided they are at least 50% intact. Most high street banks and currency exchanges won’t touch damaged foreign currency, so if you’ve come home from Barbados with a note that’s seen better days, we’re still able to help. The rate offered for damaged notes may be slightly lower than for notes in good condition.
