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:
“Bastidides, on the contrary, who both talks and writes of nothing
save copulation,
Has become the father of twins,
But he accomplished this feat at some cost;
He had to be four times cuckold.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
