The currency of the British Virgin Islands is the United States dollar (USD). While the British Virgin Islands is a British Overseas Territory, it uses the USD as its primary medium of exchange. This makes it convenient for tourists, especially those coming from the United States, as they can use their currency without needing to exchange it for local money. Additionally, the British Virgin Islands government has issued some of its own banknotes in the past, but these are less common than the standard US currency, which dominates day-to-day transactions.
