| Additional information |
Belize's dollar coinage traces directly to the Eastern Caribbean dollar system it abandoned at independence in 1981, when the new Central Bank pegged the Belizean dollar to the USD at a fixed rate of 2:1 — a peg that has held without adjustment for over four decades, one of the longer-running fixed exchange arrangements in the Western Hemisphere.
