Bermuda's Currency

The currency of Bermuda is the Bermuda dollar. There are 100 cents to the dollar. The Bermuda dollar is pegged to the US dollar on a 1-to-1 basis. Both currencies are equally acceptable at all establishments. The US dollar is therefore the currency of choice since any remaining cash is exchangeable almost anywhere in the world; a situation which is not true for the Bermuda dollar. Ensure you change all Bermuda currency, other than that required for novelty purposes, into US dollars before you leave Bermuda. There are no currency restrictions in force when leaving Bermuda.

When making purchases, change may be given in a combination of US and Bermudian currency.

Notes come in denominations of 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 Bermuda dollars. There are 1, 5, 10 and 25 cent coins, and also a 1 dollar coin.

ATMs give Bermuda dollars so make sure you only withdraw what you need.
Tom :
Bermuda tied its currency to the dollar in 1972 as most of its trade was with the US.
Alvin :
Always ask for change in US and make sure you change and Bermudian money before returning home. It's impossible to exchange once back in the States.
