1 There were a few nervous giggles from people in the audience. 2  The stock market's recent seesaw movements have made many investors nervous.  I was nervous on my first day at college, but I was reassured to see some friendly faces.
Barbados has its own currency known as the Barbadian Dollar. The currency symbol for the Barbados dollar is BBD. All items sold on the island are in Barbados dollars however US currency is widely accepted. You can very easily pay for something with US dollars and receive change in Barbadian dollars.
Last updated September 24, 2015 3:54PM UTC. The Eastern Caribbean dollar (EC$) is the island currency. US dollars are often accepted by taxi drivers, shops, restaurants and larger hotels. Travelerâs checks can be exchanged in banks and in larger hotels without issue. Visa, American Express and MasterCard are widely accepted at hotels, car-rental agencies, shops and restaurants. ATMs are available at bank branches and shopping centers throughout the island. They dispense Eastern Caribbean dollars. An 8% tax and 10% service charge are added to the bill at all but the cheapest hotels and restaurants; thereâs no need for additional tipping.
