Barbadian banknotes are printed in London, England by De La Rue Currency, while Barbadian coins are made at the Royal Canadian Mint in Ontario, Canada.
The Board of Directors of the Central Bank of Barbados makes a recommendation to the Minister of Finance, who has final approval.
The best way to determine if a banknote is counterfeit is to look for the presence of security features that are found on genuine notes.

If you have a note that you believe to be counterfeit, take the note to the Central Bank of Barbados. It is a criminal offence to knowingly pass (spend) a counterfeit note.

No. A counterfeit note is not legal tender and therefore has no value.

Any note that is torn, soiled, or in any way mutilated should be taken to a local commercial bank where a determination will be made of its value.

The Central Bank of Barbados updates the design of banknotes periodically.

Yes. From 1973-1976, Samuel Jackman Prescod’s image was featured on the five-dollar note. These notes bear the signature of Dr. (now Sir) Courtney Blackman and remain legal tender.

The Central Bank of Barbados has very specific regulations governing the reproduction of Barbadian currency.
Like Barbadian banknotes, the images that appear on circulation coins have historical or cultural significance.

Yes. Retailers are not obligated to accept more than 10 dollars in coins as payment for a purchase.

Numismatic (souvenir) coins are coins that have been specially minted to commemorate an event of significance or honour an important individual. Numismatic coins are limited edition coins and are usually proof quality, which means that they are individually struck as opposed to mass-produced like circulation coins.

All numismatic coins have a face/nominal value, which is determined by a number of factors. However, because they are limited edition coins, they often have a higher value among collectors.

Numismatic coins are produced at the discretion of the Central Bank of Barbados, usually when there is an event of major local historical or cultural significance.

At present, the following numismatic coins are available for sale:

Numismatic coins are available at the Central Bank of Barbados and at select retail outlets.
