Bahamian Pound
The pound was the currency of the Bahamas until 1966. It was equivalent to the pound sterling and was divided into 20 shillings, each of 12 pence. Ordinary UK coinage circulated. Apart from an old Bahamas penny coin struck in 1806, there were no special sterling coin issues such as were found in Jamaica.
Famous quotes containing the word pound:
“Humanity is the rich effluvium, it is the waste and the manure and the soil, and from it grows the tree of the arts.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
