Initially, the leone was pegged to the pound sterling, then to the SDR, then to the US dollar, and since 1986, the leone has become a freely convertible currency. The coups and civil war that continued after independence caused an economic crisis and inflation in the country, which continues to this day.

Sierra Leone, home to the worlds third largest natural harbor, was once a British colony and gained independence in 1961.
