The Belize dollar (BZD) is the official currency of Belize, a small country located in Central America.
The Belize dollar has been the country’s official currency since 1973, when it replaced the British Honduras dollar.
The Belize dollar is subdivided into 100 cents and is symbolized by the “$” sign, or sometimes by the acronym “BZD”.
It is a floating currency, which means that its value is determined by market forces of supply and demand, and it is not pegged to any other currency.
The Belizean economy is largely driven by agriculture, tourism, and offshore banking, and the value of the Belize dollar can be affected by fluctuations in these industries.
Additionally, changes in the price of oil and other commodities can also affect the country’s economy and the value of its currency.
The Belize dollar is widely accepted throughout Belize, and US dollars are also commonly used. Visitors to Belize can usually exchange their foreign currency for Belize dollars at banks, exchange bureaus, and some hotels and resorts.
