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.
