Bermudian dollar to Papua New Guinean Kina

The Islands of Bermuda are part of the Great Britain territory, although they are located far away from the main United Kingdom’s territory. Here, there is a separate currency called the Bermudian dollar (sign BD$, code BMD). The Bermudian cents are used as change for BMD.

There are coins worth 10 and 50 cents that are issued as of today. The $ currency has been issued since 1970 replacing the Bermudian pound. Commemorative coins are of special interest for numismatists. So-called “Bermuda triangles” have a corresponding shape, but are made out of different alloys and have different denomination.

The kina (sign К, code PGK) is the currency of a state in Oceania – Papua New Guinea. The currency is not accepted for payment outside the country. One kina is subdivided into 100 smaller coins called toea.

The currency has become official in 1975. Before that, the country had a foreign currency, which was the Australian dollar. The appearance of the currency was connected to the fact that Papua New Guinea gained independence. At first, the Australian dollar also participated in payment operations, but in 1976, it was completely eliminated.
