Virgin Islands Banknotes Catalog
The British Virgin Islands has a fascinating history in terms of its paper currency. From its first banknotes to the present day, the evolution of its currency reflects the history and economic development of this British overseas territory.
Current banknotes in circulation
Currently, the British Virgin Islands uses the U.S. dollar as its official currency. However, the Bank of the Virgin Islands issues its own commemorative and collector bills. These bills, while technically legal tender, are primarily used as collector's items and are rarely seen in everyday circulation. The designs of these banknotes often reflect the rich biodiversity and cultural heritage of the islands.
Historical banknotes and landmark notes
Prior to the adoption of the U.S. dollar in 1959, the British Virgin Islands used the British West Indies dollar. The first Virgin Islands-specific banknotes were issued in 1962 by the Government of the Virgin Islands. These initial banknotes featured portraits of Queen Elizabeth II and local scenes. An important milestone in the notafilia of the islands was the issuance in 1983 of a series of banknotes highlighting local flora and fauna, establishing a tradition that continues in today's designs.
