The Cayman Islands Dollar (KYD), introduced in 1972, is one of the strongest currencies globally, pegged to the US Dollar at a rate of 1 KYD to 1.2 USD. What makes the KYD particularly fascinating is the unique history of the Cayman Islands as a tax haven, attracting a plethora of international businesses and financial institutions. The Islands boast no direct taxation, which played a significant role in strengthening the KYD as a symbol of financial stability and economic opportunity.

Apart from its financial significance, the KYD features colorful banknotes adorned with vivid imagery of local wildlife and cultural symbols, reflecting the rich biodiversity and heritage of the Cayman Islands. This has made the currency not only a unit of exchange but also a vibrant representation of the Cayman’s identity.
