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.

The monetary unit of the Republic of Maldives at the moment is the Maldivian rufiyaa. The territory of the state is a ridge of more than 20 island formations of coral origin, which also consist of mo...re than a thousand smaller islets-atolls. The ridge of the Maldives archipelago stretches in a line from north to south. The total land area is approximately 300 square kilometers. Previously, the Maldivian rufiyaa was extremely poorly protected, and rampant diversification created unfavorable economic tariffs within the state, later protection systems were developed - watermarks and perforations. Money is printed on paper, which is purchased by America for the production of dollars, in addition, a wide range of colors is used in production. Banknotes are very small. Rufiyaas are used only within the country and are not in circulation in other countries of the world
