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 countries of circulation are the Republic of Azerbaijan. The Azerbaijani manat became the national currency of the Republic in 1992. In November 1993, all tickets were withdrawn from circulation,... and in January 1994 the Azerbaijani manat received the status of a single means of payment. Putting into circulation in 1992, initially on a par with Soviet and then Russian rubles, largely influenced the status and purchasing value. Concomitant negative factors, which were first general political instability, and then the military conflict with neighboring Armenia, caused hyperinflation. As a result, by the beginning of 2006, the Central Bank of the country made a decision on the denomination, which turned out to be very successful in terms of further strengthening and stabilizing the exchange rate.
