The Belize dollar is Pegged to the US Dollar at BZD 2 for USD 1. The dollar first appeared in British Honduras as banknotes in 1855. In 1885, it replaced the Pound Sterling as the currency of the colony, with coins and banknotes issued. The dollar was introduced at a value of 4 Shillings 2 Pence , equivalent to $4.80 = 1 pound. The initial close proximity of the 25 cent denomination to the value of 1 shilling (actually 1 shilling ½ penny) lead to the nickname for this coin. Coin s in circulation
