In those years, the state of Guyana was called British Guiana. The East Caribbean dollar was then used as the currency. It was a recognized unit of the OECS (Organization of the Eastern Caribbean States). Since the mid-60s of the last century, during the period of the states struggle for independence, the Bank of Guyana decides to put into circulation its own national currency of the country. This currency was the Guyanese dollar. Then it exchanged with the OECS dollar at a one-to-one rate.

History reference:
The national currency of Israel is the New Israeli Shekel (ILS). It is called new because in 1985 it replaced the old currency of the same name. How the shekels appeared and what they meant is eviden...ced by various historical sources. The Semitic word "shekel" has a root that has been preserved in modern Hebrew - "only", it means "to weigh". This fact indicates the ancient purpose of the shekel, known even before our era. In a number of Middle Eastern countries, it served as a measure of weight in transactions. In Canaan and Mesopotamia, the shekel was used as the standard for weighing gold and silver and was originally a unit of weight of about 11 grams. The shekel became the currency in Tire and Carthage. Then shekels became the main monetary unit in Ancient Israel and were fixed there as a national currency.
