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 Sudanese pound is the national currency of the Republic of Sudan, temporary for the Republic of South Sudan. In addition, along with the Egyptian pound, it acts as the currency of the Halayib Tri...angle. The territory of Sudan covers most of the African savannah in the geographic region of the same name in the valley of the upper Nile River, as well as the eastern part of the Darfur and Kordofan plateaus. In the northeast of the territory of Sudan, the Nubian Desert extends, adjacent to the coast of the Red Sea. The territory of Sudan is almost 1 million 900 thousand square kilometers. Until 1957, the Egyptian pound was used as a means of payment in Sudan. In April of the same year, at a 1:1 exchange rate, the Egyptian pound was replaced by the Sudanese pound. The 1957 Sudanese pound was used in circulation until 1992. On June 8, 1992, the government of Sudan carries out a monetary reform, as a result of which the Sudanese pound is replaced by the Sudanese dinar at an exchange rate of 10 pounds = 1 dinar.
