Comoros is a small island nation located in the Indian Ocean off the eastern coast of Africa. 3 languages are recognized as official here: ...French, Comorian, Arabic, which is reflected in the inscriptions on banknotes and coins of Comoros. The Comoros entered the franc zone in 1976. The name of the national currency is borrowed from the former metropolis, which is quite typical for states that were former colonies of France. The Comorian franc was put into circulation almost immediately after the countrys independence, replacing the French colonial franc. The Central Bank of Comoros, which is the main and only issuer of the national currency in the country, exchanged French colonial francs for the national currency at a ratio of one to one. But the relatively high exchange rate of the Comorian franc did not last long. During the period of the 80-90s of the last century, as a result of inflationary processes, it depreciated quite a lot, after which smaller denominations and coins were withdrawn from circulation.

The Singapore dollar is the national currency of Singapore. Singapore was founded by Sir Stamford Raffles in February 1819. Until June 1823, Singapore was under British colonial rule. During this per...iod, Singapore became an important center of transit trade in Southeast Asia and a major port city. In circulation in Singapore, the first coins appeared in 1824, minted by the Calcutta Mint in India. The coins were made of copper with a face value of 1/3 cent and silver with a face value of 1/30 dollar. Between 1845 and 1939 Singapore used the Straits dollar. After that it was replaced by the Malayan dollar, and from 1953 by the Malaya and British Borneo dollar, which were issued by the Board of Commissioners of the Currency in Malaya and British Borneo.
