Since 1949, with the introduction of the British West Indies dollar, the currency of Barbados has become officially associated with the activities of the British Eastern Caribbean and the territory as a whole. Between 1938 and 1949, the government of Barbados issued paper banknotes in dollars. The last private bank notes were issued in 1949. British pound sterling coins were replaced with new coins in 1955. In 1965, the East Caribbean dollar replaced the British West Indies dollar in Barbados.

History reference:
The Norwegian krone has been the currency of Norway since 1874 (when the Norwegian krone banknotes began to be printed, and Norwegian coins have been known since 995), when it replaced the Norwegian ...daler. For the first time, the inhabitants of Norway were able to pay with their own coins under Olaf I Trygvasson, who ruled the kingdom of the harsh Vikings at the end of the 10th century. It should be noted that in Norway the production of coins is still the prerogative of the king. Only in the 17th century did a full-fledged mint appear in Oslo, which used silver from the nearest mines of Christiania to mint coins. Somewhat later, the mint was moved to Kongsberg, where the largest explored deposit of precious metals was located. Even despite the fact that in the late 50s of the XX century. the mine was depleted, the yard continues its work in this city.
