A Shared Caribbean Currency System

The Eastern Caribbean dollar (XCD) has been in circulation since 1965, initially issued by the Eastern Caribbean Currency Authority and later managed by the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB). It is used across multiple nations, including Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Saint Kitts and Nevis, as well as Anguilla and Montserrat.
