Description
The Suriname dollar is the official currency in Suriname since 2004, when the dollar replaces the Surinamese guilder. Unlike the other American continent currency, these monetary systems do not fluctuate according to the market value. The central bank is setting the value of the currency. Surinamese people often call their currency SRD to differentiate the US dollar, which is also used for quotes for furniture, appliances, and automobiles.
The 25 Cents coin front design features the National Coat of Arms (consists of two indigenous men carrying a shield, a trade ship on the water, the royal palm, the diamond and a star), surrounded by a wreath. The reverse coin design has the denomination surrounded by a lines pattern. This coin is part of the 1987 – 2017 series, its rim is fluted, and its color is silver.
