History reference:
The Bahamian dollar has been the national currency and money of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas since 1966. It replaced the Bahamian pound when the islands were granted self-government, and later ind...ependence (although the country remained part of the British Commonwealth). The Bahamian dollar replaced the Bahamian pound, which was equal to the British pound sterling, divided into 20 shillings or 240 pence, at a ratio of 1 dollar = 7 shillings (1 dollar = 0.35 pounds) in 1966. At the same time, a transition was made to the decimal system - the Bahamian dollar began to equal 100 cents. During the transition to a new currency, three-dollar bills and coins of fifteen cents were introduced, since three dollars are approximately equal to one pound, and fifteen cents - 1 shilling, which was convenient during the transition period.

History reference:
The Jersey Pound is the currency of Jersey. The official languages of Jersey are English and French, since 2010 the denomination is indicated on banknotes in English (in pounds) and French (in livres...). The Jersey pound is pegged to the pound sterling at a ratio of 1:1. British coins are freely accepted on the island. Notes of the Bank of England, Scottish and Northern Irish banks, as well as Guernsey, while not being legal tender, can be accepted on the island. In the UK, the Jersey currency is not officially solvent, but Jersey money can be accepted for payment along with your own. All banknotes of the new series featured a portrait of Elizabeth II, and the image of a cow was used as a watermark. In 2012, in honor of the anniversary of the British Queen, a commemorative series of 100 pounds banknotes was issued. It was a limited edition, reflecting the historical events of the reign of Elizabeth. The front side of the banknote is decorated with a realistic full-face portrait of the Queen.
