The Surinamese dollar is the official currency of Suriname. It is sometimes referred to as the Srd or the Surinamese guilder. The currency was introduced in 2004 after the previous currency, the Surinamese guilder, suffered from high inflation rates. Some local synonyms for the Surinamese dollar include "sjora" and "ping". It is important to note that the Surinamese dollar is not widely accepted outside of Suriname, which may require tourists and visitors to exchange their currency to US dollars or Euros before traveling to Suriname. Despite this limitation, the Surinamese dollar remains an important aspect of Suriname's economy and identity.
