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:
“he had been born
In a half savage country, out of date;
Bent resolutely on wringing lilies from the acorn;”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
