History reference:
The Saint Helena pound is the currency of the Atlantic islands of Saint Helena and Ascension, which are constituent parts of the British Overseas Territory of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da C...unha. It is set at parity with the British pound sterling, so both currencies are commonly accepted and circulated in Saint Helena. St. Helena originally held the British pound sterling, with the pound divided into 20 shillings and each shilling into 12 pence. Added to this were occasional local issues of paper currencies. One coin, a copper halfpenny, was minted in 1821 specifically for use in the islands and mixed with British coinage. The notes were denominated in pounds and shillings and were valued at face value with the British pound sterling. Until February 1961, the island also accepted the South African pound, which was then equal to the pound sterling, but this ceased with the introduction of the new decimal South African rand, with one rand worth only 10 shillings.

History reference:
The Nepalese rupee has been the national currency and money of the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal since 1932, when it replaced the Nepalese mohar at a ratio of 1:2. The first settlers on the te...rritory of todays Nepal appeared almost a thousand years BC. e. and over time settled in free areas. In the Middle Ages, there was already a kingdom here, which waged wars with its neighbors and managed to expand its borders. In 1768, the territory was conquered from India, where the capital of the state was later transferred. This is the city of Kathmandu, and today it is the capital of the country. The Kingdom of Nepal managed to make war with one of the largest states of that time - the British Empire. The fighting began in 1814 and ended two years later, in 1816. None of the parties won a clear victory, as a result of which a peace treaty was concluded that determined the borders of Nepal. They have remained unchanged to this day.
