Bankers insisted that “Sand Dollar” is a “digital fiat currency” – not a cryptocurrency, stablecoin or competitor to the Bahamian Dollar. Rather, it is essentially a digital version “equivalent in every respect to the paper currency,” they said in the project outline.

 

“In this vision, residents can pay retailers through wallet-linked QR codes, with banks moving assets in digital form. The Central Bank accepts this could ultimately cut currency printing costs and transaction fees while enhancing financial inclusion.”
