They do have their own “dollar” (known as Bahamian dollar), its interchangeable with US Dollar as its a 1:1 peg meaning value remains the same (B$100 also equates to $100) but they have a bill for $1/2 (50c), so there are 8 denominations & it’s a strong currency with a caveat (it’s closed, it can’t be exchanged outside the country). I know it’s a rich country not too distant from Florida, have you been there before? If so, what is it like?

I think somebody would need to be super out of touch to say that travelling to the Bahamas is super cheap and easy. Not a Trump-level out-of-touchness (he’s waffling on about the extermination of civilisation in Iran, conquering of NATO allies, and is diverting funds from science and healthcare towards making the white house the gold house), but close to it.
Yes. Tourism is its economy.
Money laundering
While I am sure plenty of that goes on the Bahamas, I am not sure what that has to do with the topic at hand.
If some tourist puts a greasy 50 cent bill in your gstring as your dancing, you’re going to want to wash that bad boy. Just simple hygiene, really.
HAHA!!
Go-to Aruba during the summer. It’s like half price of their winter rates, and they have the same weather year round.
If you’re just looking to relax on the beach, a cruise can be a pretty cheap way of visiting the Bahamas.
It’s cheap at the Bahamas yes. A lot of people are talking about scams but that’s just how travel works. Look out for scams.
I’ve taken a few cruises there. Cheap and easy vacation.
Travel ain’t cheap these days. Are you willing to plan ahead, stay in hostels, and avoid tourist traps? Could be pretty affordable. Is it a spur of the moment splurge? Say goodbye to your wallet.
I mean, it’s one Bahamas how much could is possible cost? $100?
