Turks and Caicos Islands Coin List
The Turks and Caicos Islands, a British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean, have an interesting numismatic history that reflects their colonial past and their current status. Over the years, these islands have undergone changes in their monetary system, going through different currencies to the one they use today.
Current currency in circulation
Currently, the official currency of the Turks and Caicos Islands is the U.S. dollar. This decision was taken in 1973 to simplify commercial and tourist transactions, given the geographical and economic proximity to the United States. Although the U.S. dollar is the legal tender, the islands also issue their own commemorative coins in Turks and Caicos dollars, which are popular among collectors but are not used in daily circulation.
Monetary history and relevant facts
Before adopting the U.S. dollar, the Turks and Caicos Islands used several currencies. During the colonial period, the British pound sterling circulated. In 1969, the islands briefly introduced the British West Indies dollar, which was replaced in 1973 by the U.S. dollar. An important milestone in the islands' numismatics was the issuance of their first commemorative coin in 1973, celebrating their new status as a separate territory. Since then, the Turks and Caicos Islands have issued numerous commemorative coins, many of which feature themes related to local flora, fauna and culture, making them coveted pieces by collectors around the world.
