The East Caribbean dollar (symbol: $; code: XCD) is the currency of eight of the nine members of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (the one exception being the British Virgin Islands which uses the United States dollar). It has existed since 1965 being the successor to the British West Indies dollar and it is normally abbreviated with the dollar sign $ or alternatively EC$ to distinguish it from other dollar-denominated currencies. The EC$ is subdivided into 100 cents.
