Brief History:

The monetary system of Trinidad and Tobago has known a great number of currencies, due to the occupation of the island by the main colonial powers, which came mostly from France, Spain and Great Britain.

After landing in the island in Trinidad in 1797, the British found a very basic monetary system without any bank.

Between 1954 and 1957 the first British banknotes in the Caribbean appeared in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 100.

This system was maintained during the effort of the West Indies Federation, and two years later, in 1962, Trinidad and Tobago achieved Independence.

Trinidadian dollar was introduced in 1964, replacing British West Indies dollar with a 1 to 1 parity.
