Bermuda Coins
Bermuda's official currency is the Bermudian dollar, which is pegged to the U.S. dollar at a 1:1 ratio. This monetary system reflects the close economic relationship between Bermuda and the United States, as well as the importance of tourism and financial services in the island's economy.
Bermuda's monetary history
Prior to the introduction of the Bermudian dollar in 1970, Bermuda used a variety of currencies throughout its history. During the colonial period, Spanish and British coins circulated, as well as hog money, one of the first coins minted specifically for the American colonies in the 17th century. In 1842, Bermuda adopted the British pound sterling as its official currency, which remained until the introduction of the Bermudian dollar.
Numismatic Milestones in Bermuda
There are several interesting aspects to Bermuda's numismatics. In 1970, the first series of Bermudian dollar coins was issued, which included denominations from 1 cent to $1. A significant milestone was the introduction of the triangular $1 coin in 1988, which commemorates historic shipwrecks around the island and has become a unique numismatic symbol of Bermuda. In addition, the country has issued numerous commemorative coins celebrating its rich history and biodiversity, including series dedicated to local flora and fauna.
