I have also verified that Alphavantage does not offer exchange rates for 
SBD. But, Yahoo! does.

https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/SBDUSD%3DX/ (SBDUSD=X)

Setting FQ_CURRENCY=YahooJSON

     bschuck at bs-ubuntu24:~$ FQ_CURRENCY=YahooJSON gnucash-cli --quotes 
dump currency SBD USD
     1 USD = 8.228 SBD

The caveat is that the current YahooJSON currency module does not 
include the additional code that is needed for users in different 
geological locations. I _may_ work on that in the next week or two 
(holidays and all).

FinanceAPI.net also includes the Solomon Island Dollar in its Forex 
data, but there is not yet a currency module using their API. I have not 
tested the other currently available currency modules.

Thank you.
