The Solomon Islands dollar (currency code SBD) is the currency of Solomon Islands since 1975. It is normally abbreviated with the dollar sign $, or alternatively SI$ to distinguish it from other dollar-denominated currencies. It is divided into 100 cents.

History

---

For earlier currencies of the Solomon Islands, see Solomon Islands pound and Oceania pound.

The Solomon Islands dollar was introduced in 1975 to replace the Australian dollar at par, following independence. Over the 30 years of the dollar's separate existence, and especially during the civil war of 2000-2003, devaluation has taken its toll, with the Solomon Islands dollar now equal to 20 Australian cents.
