History reference:
The Guernsey Pound is the currency of Guernsey, a tiny island in the English Channel. GGP is the currency code for the Guernsey pound, which is the official currency of Guernsey. Until 1834, Guernsey... used the French livre as currency, and then until 1921, French francs were accepted as payment. However, already in 1827, the issue of its own banknotes in pounds began, and since 1830, coins in duplicates, where 80 doubles amounted to 1 franc. From 1848 to 1850, the island had an ordinance accepting pounds for payment, reinstated for coins in 1870 (12.5 Guernsey pence became 1 shilling), and for banknotes in 1914 new own banknotes were printed, the denominations of which were shillings and francs. In 1921, Guernsey switched completely to pounds, pegging its pound to the British as 1:1, and in 1971 the decimal system was introduced.

History reference:
The Suriname dollar is the currency of the Republic of Suriname. From the end of the 17th century, the Surinamese guilder was used as a currency in Suriname, which was in circulation on a par with th...e Dutch guilder. In 1940, after the occupation of the Netherlands by Germany, the Surinamese guilder was pegged to the US dollar at a ratio of 1.88585 guilders to 1 dollar. High inflation in the early 1990s caused the Surinamese guilder to depreciate catastrophically, prompting a monetary reform. In the main circulation there are banknotes of 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 Surinamese dollars issued in 2004 and 2010, as well as coins in denominations of 250, 100, 25, 10, 5 and 1 cent. The images on banknotes of 2010 are identical to the images on banknotes of 2004, only some degrees of protection have been added (holograms, etc.)
