Question
Who are the men and their significance on the currency of Barbados?  $5, $2, $20/$1.
Thank you.

Answer
Barbadian currency, like our people, our history and our culture, is vibrant
and colorful. Each note is a different color, making it easily identifiable.
The bank notes in circulation are
two dollars, five dollars, ten dollars, twenty dollars, fifty dollars and one
hundred dollars. Each of the bills features the face of a prominent Barbadian.
On the two dollar bill is John Redman Bovell. Sir Frank Worrell is on the five
dollar bill, Charles Duncan O'Neal is on the ten dollar bill, and the twenty
dollar bill features Samuel Jackman Prescod. Errol Walton Barrow, who was our
first Prime Minister, is on the fifty-dollar bill, and the honour of the one
hundred dollar bill goes to Sir Grantley Herbert Adams, after whom our airport
is also named.
