Barbados will have a new painted coin in rotation soon.
The Central Bank of Barbados has found a somewhat novel way to show its appreciation for the hard work and tireless effort given by frontline workers as a result of operating under COVID-19 protocols and working within the new norm.
Deputy Director of Currency at the Central Bank of Barbados, Octavia Gibson said: This one dollar coin is so special, it reminds us of the hard work that our essential workers do. Being the first Central Bank in the region to issue a commemorative coin which will be circulated, we are very proud of it.
