BZD is the currency code for Belize dollars

BZD is the currency code for the Belize dollar, which is the official currency of Belize. The Belize dollar is often abbreviated with the dollar sign $, or BZ$ to distinguish it from other dollar-denominated currencies.

The Belize dollar was officially recognised as the currency of Belize on January 1, 1974, when it replaced the British Honduras dollar. Belize, which was a British colony, was renamed from British Honduras to Belize in 1973. The country gained independence in 1981.

Prior to its independence, Belize used several different currencies, including the British Honduras dollar, the British pound, and the Spanish dollar. The Spanish dollar was the currency in circulation in Belize between 1765 and 1825. After this, the British sterling monetary system was used in Belize, as well as in other British colonies in the region, such as Jamaica and Bermuda.

In 1931, when Britain abandoned the gold standard, Belize's currency became pegged to the US dollar. Since 1978, the Belize dollar has been pegged to the US dollar at a rate of BZ$2 to $1 USD. This means that 10 US dollars are worth 20 Belize dollars.

The Central Bank of Belize, established in 1982, manages the nation's foreign reserves and issues its currency.

USD is the currency code for US dollars

As of July 23, 2024, 10 US dollars are worth 20.1478 Belize dollars. The currency code for US dollars is USD, which is derived from the ISO 3166 country code ("US") and the letter "D" for "dollar". This is in line with the ISO 4217 standard, which establishes internationally recognized codes for currencies, using three letters where the first two letters denote the country code and the third letter corresponds, where possible, to the first letter of the currency name.

The USD is the currency code for the US dollar, which is the official currency of the United States of America. It is also used in other countries and territories, including Ecuador, El Salvador, Panama, British Virgin Islands, Turks and Caicos Islands, and Zimbabwe. The USD is often referred to as the 'greenback' due to its predominantly green colour, and it is one of the most commonly traded currencies in the foreign exchange market.

The USD is further divided into 100 cents, with the penny being the smallest denomination. The currency is issued and controlled by the Federal Reserve System, also known as the Fed, which is the central banking system of the United States. The Fed has the responsibility of ensuring the stability and strength of the USD, managing its supply, and setting monetary policies that influence the country's economy.

The USD is widely recognized and accepted globally, serving as a reserve currency for many nations and playing a significant role in international trade and finance. It is considered a stable and reliable currency, backed by the economic strength of the United States, and is often seen as a safe-haven asset during times of economic uncertainty.
