The Singapore Dollar (symbol: S$; currency code: SGD) is issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore. It is divided into 100 cents, though one-cent coins are rarely used. Banknotes feature iconic landmarks and the nation’s first president, reflecting Singapore’s heritage and modern spirit. Introduced in 1967 to replace the Malaya and British Borneo dollar, the SGD has grown into a stable, widely traded regional currency. Today, travelers often monitor the AUD→SGD rate when visiting places like Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay, or Sentosa. Despite widespread cashless payments, the Singapore Dollar remains essential for hawker centres, markets, and everyday transactions.
