We all in this together,no matter what part of the Caribbean we come from,we family!🇧🇸
Love from Belize
Until 1996 the Haitian Gourde used to 5 gourdes for $1 . But the politicians destroy the pearl.of the Caribbean. Praying for Haiti to be back on track and take its place back in the world and the Caribbean. 🇭🇹 🇭🇹 🇭🇹 🇭🇹 🇭🇹
Bahamas $BSD 🇧🇸💪🏿. I pray that the Caribbean, especially independent Caribbean nations continue to strive and grow economically stronger with more diversified economies. We can do this.
❤❤Love you

@@adiaj9228 😊😊😊😊😊
@@5mviews69 yes indeed🇧🇸
May God continue to bless our Caribbean family of nations with health and prosperity 🙏🏾. Greetings from the Commonwealth of the Bahamas 🇧🇸
I'm very impressed with the video, and I will continue to use future presentations as a source of reliable information
🇧🇸🇧🇸
Yes ! And help them to Stop Hating each other and Comparing each other and learn to get along and make themselves a Force to be Reckoned with ! Stop Tearing down each other and being so Grudgefull Minded ! it seems like the only time we are good together , is when we are in a Foreign Land ! This is something I have Noticed !
@@jeremyboyce1537 The only time people know each other,is when there is a disaster to one of islands. Then people are pretending to be self righteous with each other and, after everything get back to normal. They gone back to their hateful ways,most of the people in the region. Only believes in the white ideology and philosophy, Bahamas is not really a nice set of people. I been there a couple of times and, I don't seeing myself living there. The thing with some of our people them, they does not read enough to gain knowledge, because people is calling you Caribbean people. You are not,it is north America continent,it is the Caribs Indians the name came from,ok.
Thank you My Friend from the Bahamas 🇧🇸 , God Bless you and Keep You and Make His Face to Shine Upon You and Be Gracious Unto You ! With Love From Barbados 🇧🇧 and on the Behalf of All Caribean Nations !!!!!!
Very informative and helpful, well presented ❤😊
Thank you for that info it was really appreciated 👁️🙏🌍🇧🇸
My joy with this video is getting to know all the Caribbean countries
As a Senior Development Economist, I greatly appreciate your valuable and crisp analysis of regional Currencies
Good work!
This was very informative... Thank you!🙏
But GUYANA is South America.
WOW in 1965 I remembered $1.00 US dollar equal to 5 Haitian Goude. While Japanese Yen was around 250 for one dollar. 2023 the Dollar has a value of 150 Goude while the Japanese is down to 125 yen to the dollar.
Big difference.
That’s because it was pegged to the dollar then, today it’s a floating currency.
An informative video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you for this excellent, informative video
This video is very knowledgeable .. Thanks for sharing 💪👍🏿💕🇨🇦🇹🇹
Very good video!!! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for all the info
Blessings to. the Caribbean countries, big up, thanks for sharing 👍💯.
Considerably informative! ✌️😎
Thank you for sharing your video.
Many Blessings to the Carib nations 🙏🏻❤
Big up the Caribbean we are still neighbors though the jamaican dollar under pressure
Very interesting and informative, instant subscribe
I have learnt alot from this video. I didn't know much information about many of these Caribbean currencies. Heard about them in passing over the years as I have some family members from some of the different islands mentioned here on this list. Also, and truthfully didn't realise that my country's currency had slipped so low. Thanks for the information. One Love from 🇯🇲.
I have told many Americans that there dollars is 84 cent in my inlands . And there don't believe me. I was in born in the Cayman islands and grow up in Barbados
Very interesting and informative. Thanks
The Caribbean need to have one currency. Great info
They all were invited to join the EC when it was created. The slightly larger islands like Jamaica and Haiti rejected the idea and they are suffering the consequences economically for that right now. All the Caribbean islands would’ve had the same dollar and thus trade among the islands would have been more seamless and function as one economy. The EC islands have been some of the strongest independent countries for decades now.
Very informative & helpful.
Great vid!!
Thanks you for that information
Thank you very much for this most important information.Excellent presentation, and very clearly delivered!
Looking forward to the next one on the IMF!
Good
Very good information keep up the good work
Great information, and you're right on point. I appreciate this video
Great info. The $EC is not doing too badly after all. Thank you.
Very interesting and informative. Thanks for sharing this
Fantastic knowledge
Very informational.
Very informative.
Great info...thanks
With my Canadian dollar was able to buy real estate in Jamaica very cheap ! The weakness of a currency could present great investment opportunities if you know the game .
I learned a lot about the different currencies and it is interesting to know that our Eastern Caribbean dollar is stable to the US dollar.
FOOLS GOLD! You all don't have an economy.
Yeah , Barbados uses to use that Currency at one time in the Sixties and Seventies , actually , I still have some good money here in a can somewhere ! I would give it away to anyone who would want it ! When I visited The Grenadines , I didn't even remember to take it with me and that was a Trip I did in 1996 , I was Traveling to Canada and England , since that .
Yes the Caribbean Islands plan were to use one currency which were suppose to be Eastern Caribbean but a few of the Islands didn’t follow through and their dollar value dropped drastically…e.g Barbados, Trinidad, Jamaica, Guyana etc…
@@flashymonk12, Togetherness and Cooperation is Key and that was not the Case with some of Our Caribbean Brothers and Sisters ! What you need to do , is to go and find that bit of Information about the Federation and I think you would Understand a lot more .
@@flashymonk12, Barbados dollar is two to one US Dollar , the Eastern Caribean Currency is what ? Help me to Understand ? I am thinking about what you are saying but I am still Puzzled !
Edifying commentary. Useful in many ways.
Excellent presentation of facts. Love this
Great video thanks ❤ 👍🏽 🇧🇸
Your channel is very interesting and informative thank you 🙏
Excellent and useful infomation. Delivery and explanation of the info was easy to understand.
If we stop fighting against each other trade and products. The Caribbean would be much more stronger. Our products are of the highest quality but we keep trying to outdo each other and that's lead to many Caribbean countries $$ suffering. We are one and it's time we stand as one.
It's not a bad idea but those unscrupulous I don't know what to say would find a way to sabotage your product finding them a less of a quality. They are full of conspiracy theories for their money making benefits. That's all
If you know the history you would know they was going to get together but the evil west again intervene and screw up everything
Very informative
So informative 👏
Very informative and educational video ❤❤
Jamaica land we love 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 may God continue to shed his grace on us and our industries/Economy ❤❤❤ our people are innovative and strong 💪 #$$$ love to all islanders 😅

Greetings. The contents is highly educational.
All Caribbean countries currencies should be use between each other for trade and other means
Ask U.S why not??
I agreed with that
This is true
There should one caribbean currency tbh
Nope jamaica and trinidad and most of the rest currency aint worth nothing just a whole lot of notes each worth 1 dollar or so ECD is the way to go
Great video! 👍🏾🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Very interesting, thanks for the explanation of the currencies from the Caribbean Islands.
Thanks for giving me information on the currency
Quite interesting and informative
Good info
THANKS. EXCELLENT RESEARCH INFORMATION. THIS UPDATE IS GRATELY APPRECIATED.
Very interesting!
Eastern Caribbean currency is doing great 👍 💯
Yes. The same value to the US dollar , after 30 years I was there. Very good
ECD 🇻🇨
Very interesting and informative updates. It opened my eyes to know which island to invest in! Blessings 🎉❤
Thank you guy for this information I'm English and French love the Eastern Caribbean dollar and love for the euro❤
Educational video
So exciting I found my excitement learning Caribbean Currency . I want to be an expert, experience Caribbean more . I'm from Baltimore Maryland I hated my hometown . but I'll keep watching this video my hopes learn about Caribbean life
wow
Thank you
The Suriname dollar is now close to 40-1 USD
Inspiring
Interesting I took notes
The Barbados currency has stood strong and alone for a long as I can remember. Good to know Barbados hasn’t adopted another country’s currency as their own.
Careful Janet , you will get some Backlash cause I was saying something that everyone should Agree to and Learn from but rather than Acknowledge that , they were showing me what I alway thought , Grudge and Envy , I deleted All My Post and Done With That ! I have nothing more to say !
@@jeremyboyce1537 I hear you. People will try and cancel a person for their own thoughts and opinions. But I stand firm on what I’m happy about with the Bajan dollar. Having the euro or the USD as your currency is great but isn’t the flex people think it is. At least islands like Jamaica etc with weaker currencies HAVE their own currency. It is what it is.
What make Barbados 🇧🇧 dollar strong? Cause bim don't even product a toothpick, and productivity is key..
Just wait the US dollar is going to get an awaking, so if you pegged with them, wait and see... economics 101
@@chuckbrooks2271 Yes you’re right….however, the video primarily compared Caribbean currency to the USD, for me it’s how far will my money take me not only on the island but outside, I look at the economy, school system, health and basic standard of living. Barbados has been able to maintain a reasonable standard of living for its citizens despite being a so called third world country and only having tourism to rely on now. When the USD tanks as is predicted no doubt most countries on earth will be impacted. As for now and historically Barbados has been able to maintain its economic strength in the islands. This in part is reflected in the strength of its currency. This my 2 cents 😁
@@chuckbrooks2271, please don't blame me for something I didn't do ! I have no problem with anyone's option about their Country but I am merely stating Barbados 🇧🇧 and what was done to maintain a Strong Currency ! Now everybody had their say and it wasn't a problem but as soon as I said something , I am getting all kinds of Backlash but yet still , everyone comes here to get what we have and we produce nothing !!!! According to you ! So what is it then ? What is it ? Do People come somewhere for NOTHING ?
Good Job
I've been too focused on the US economy that I forget about the rest of the world. This was a most informative video. Thank you.
Thank You For That Very Important Information--- !!! ???
Educational
Nice video
Nice
Kool!!
Wow i learn something new, thanks for educational. Greeting from Timor Leste
Excellent, thanks I learned a lot.
Congrats to my Paradise Island Antigua & Barbuda 🇦🇬. There is $trength in number$. This is a result of we all working together.
Yes, most of the Caribbean islands should’ve been part of the eastern Caribbean currency. Thus they all would’ve function as one giant economy. Countries like Haiti, Jamaica, and Guyana would’ve had much more stable economies.
Very educated.
✌ ☮ always.
If your export market is strong and imports are low, having a weaker currency is not necessarily a bad thing.
Like Japan
Yes, exactly
That isn't true cause that would lead to a stronger dollar.
Im From Belize 🇧🇿 😊, yes we are $1BZE TO $2USD.. this is pretty cool, I really didn't know our currency was one strongest too. Although we love spending it in $$USD HA..cool informative video.
You mean two Belize dollars to one US dollar. I am from Belize too.
@@irisgibson2842 I said it as for American in its currency . 1 to 2 USD
It's the same thing lol.
Team Bz🇧🇿🇧🇿
It's 1 USD to 2 BZD. Not the other way around.
Lovely Beautiful
Even though Guyana and Jamaica statistically have the weakest currencies in the Caribbean, I find it interesting that they are both experiencing an explosion in their economies, and could change the tides in how they effect the Caribbean. Which is interesting because having a currency fixed to the US dollar does not always mean the country's economy is a strong one.
Wow the antilian guilda looks so nice
Amen so true
Thank you so much your video,Try to develop The Caribbean nations people's Economy every year from Myanmar.❤
Correction,although barbados currwncy is high it is not accepted on the street in other caribbean countries,only at the banks.
All these currencies are more beautiful than the US Dollar...😊
Big up my country 🇹🇹💕
🇹🇹 all the way
🇹🇹
TT all the way
TnT to the world 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
If Jamaica could sell its jargons/sayings, it would be rich. “Big ups” originated in Jamaica. We are a most creative and influential people. Had we have proper management our currency would have been stronger than it is
Thank for the thching
I was just having this conversation today.
Thank you I learn a lot I pray the Jamaican dollar will one day get a higher value 😅🇯🇲🇯🇲
Even Haiti dollar stronger than Jamaica's dollar. After all that Haiti been thru wow! Go Haiti.
Genarally a weaker currency favour an advantage for exports while making imports more difficult.
@@tauceti8060 Jamaica dollar being of no value for a minute, just bad governance rip of of the people that's why its being like that no Excuses.
@@tauceti8060 no excuses....whatever export advantages Jamaica might possess, its still not enough to boost the economy and strengthen its weak dollar. Real talk!
@@lesterscott471 the weakness of the Jamaican dollar was due to the arrogance of its Leadership. In 1962 Jamaica had a chance to be part of the West Indian Federation...and they voted against it. Dem sey dem nuh waan fi carry small islands becarze wi nuh hab nutten...we go be a burden pon Jamaica...so they pulled out of the Federation and voted for Independence. An si dey...arl now Jamaica Economy caan catch itself. Most ah dem ha fi run arl ova di wurl fi try mek life. Michael Manley had no longterm vision. 😢
I thought the jamaican man in the video call jamaica "the economic GIANT " what happened is he lying?
The most disappointing thing about Jamaica's position on this list is that at one point in Jamaica's history its dollar was stronger than the U.S. dollar ($1 U.S = JA $0. 75.) That all changed in the 1970s and it was downward slide ever since.
Sell out overtime
That’s what happens when a small country forge ahead of the US, they are destabilized.
Poor leadership that's what happens to Jamaica.
Facts I remember that time
@@nigeljames9727 No doubt about it. And it does not matter what spin some may put on it for political reasons, the evidence is in the results and state of affairs.
The Barbados $$ is NOT used in Trinidad & Tobago. The only freely accepted $$ besides the TT $ is the US dollar
@@ladydianaonline maybe because he just wanted to help you and not be problematic and unkind he allowed it but that bajan dollar has never been used by locals maybe just to accommodate our Caribbean brother or sister when they visit but it's NOT and NEVER been a second 3rd 4th or 5th currencies used here
Businesses there probably don't use it,but you can take Barbados money to the banks there and they would change it for you,but if memory serves me right,when I went to Trinidad in 2007,the who owned to apartment where I stayed told me I could pay in Barbados dollar if I wanted.
@@ladydianaonline Seriously we really use our TT dollar or the US. You can't use any other currency in Trinidad and Tobago. If someone takes it that would definitely be against the norm. You can't even tender Euros or pounds here.
The T& T dollar is not spent in Barbados either, so what is the point being made here? Caribbean countries should support each currencies through strong trade.
Interestingly, the Barbados dollar is used as a resevered currency by Trinidad and Tobago.
The Haitian Gourde’s value went down a lot in the recent years because of the multifaceted crisis going on there. It was stronger few years ago like 2018 for example.
Go Barbados keep that strong dollar. 🇧🇧
Yeah Patsy , we were Tide to the US Dollar for many many years now ! We would have made our Purchase in Gold from the US and then made a deal with that same Gold that is in the United States Mints today ! It is what you call Good Foresight and Investment ! All we have to do is not let Bad Influences Corrupt our way of Life and cause us to Suffer like some other Countries who have gone down that same road . I see a lot of Bad Influences creeping in and if these young ones don't have the Sense to think for themselves , then they will Feel !
That meant things are very expensive
@@lornalewis7262, yes things are Expensive anywhere you go in the World but if something cost $100.00 US and I have to look for $200.00 to get it , can that be as bad as if you have to find $1200.00 to get the same product ? Dollar Value means a lot to the Poor or the less Fortunate , a Rich Person can Duck and Dodge but not me or you and if your Dollar is not Strong then there is no way you can be getting a Fancy Incom either !
I was in Canada one time and I purchased a Whole Baked Chicken from the Supermarket I usually frequent and a Jamaican Guy saw me with the Chicken and asked me how much did I pay for it and I told him $6.00 and he was Elated and wanted to know where I got it from cause he wanted one and i told him that is from in the very Supermarket that he does his Grocery Shopping , he told me that the Chicken would cost him $150.00 back home in Jamaica ! He could not believe the price ! Now if I had to buy that same Chicken in Barbados at the time , it would cost me about 12 to 15 dollars , if I am Poor , with no money and my Dollar has not much value , how would I Survive better that the Person that has a Strong dollar ? It takes less money to Trade !
@@jeremyboyce1537 are you living in Barbados where people are crying out Barbados was just votes the 18 most expensive country in the world the currency is overated
So now that Guyana has Oil & Gas, will it change in value over time?
Guyana's currency will evolve over time.
Yes, that’s why it’s wise to either hold GYD while it’s still undervalued or hold assets denominated in GYD, to gain from the appreciation
It's easy to say but this is not the world we live in. They are so much factors that have to change globally and political in the country for it to have such value.
I would hope so DJ but it is not as easy as that cause a lot would have to be done and it might be best to get more Disposable Income among the People with the Masses having more spending power ! Creat a strong Dept Relief Programme and a (Gert) Guyana Economic Relief and Transformation Programme that would help to Stabilise the Country , in other words , let's hope the Government stays Focused !
Guyana is located in South América
Very usefui

This video wants me to collect money from around the world. I there a way to collect money without visiting the country you want to collect in? I didn't forget to like & subscribe. Great videos.
Jamaican dollar is not used in the Bahamas , please correct that !!!!
I think he said it can be exchaged for other currencies which is not to same as used.
@Andrea Wilson actually she's right you're wrong. He'd did say accepted, he also said exchangeable
It can be exchanged in the Bahamas.
Jamaican dollars cannot cross the edge of Montego bay are Kingston, accepted no where in the world but it's born ground Jamaica
We exchange it
I need some of those currencies for my collection. I also need one of the first EC dollar shown for my bill collection. I have a few but missing some
