The Gibraltar pound has been the national currency and money of Gibraltar since 1927, although Gibraltar received the right to print its banknotes only in 1934. The Gibraltar pound is pegged to the p...ound sterling at a ratio of 1:1. The name Gibraltar comes from the ancient Arabic language, where it literally means "Mount Tariq" - the Arab commander Tariq ibn Ziyad, who crossed Gibraltar to Europe to capture the Iberian Peninsula. Currently, Gibraltar has the status of a British Overseas Territory, with sufficient autonomy. Gibraltar, which is part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, is part of the EEC and the EEC customs union, but is not included in the euro area, which allows the territory to adopt its own liberal tax and financial laws, being an offshore zone.
