The story

Background & history

The Eastern Caribbean dollar is the official currency of eight member states of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), managed by the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank headquartered in Saint Kitts and Nevis. This banknote series was introduced in 1993 and continues in circulation, maintaining the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II across all denominations. The currency has been pegged to the US dollar at 2.70 XCD = 1 USD since 1976. Governor K. Dwight Venner served from 1989 to 2015, making him one of the longest-serving central bank governors in the world. The design celebrates the shared cultural heritage and natural beauty of the Eastern Caribbean region.
