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.

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.
