The pound was the currency of Tonga until 1967. It was subdivided into 20 shilling s, each of 12 penny pence . History Initially, British pound British currency circulated. This was supplemented, from 1921, by banknotes issued by the Tongan government. The notes were marked as Poundsterlingsterling and included the rather unusual 4 shilling s denomination. When the Australian pound devalued relative to the poundsterling at the beginning of the Great depression , this caused considerable confusion on the smaller islands of the British Western Pacific Territories British Western Pacific . In the mid 1930 s people in these islands were asking whether or not their sterling accounts were to be considered as the United Kingdom unit, or the Australian unit. Clarification was sought. In 1936, the Tongan pound was devalued to 1 5s 1 poundsterling, thus setting the Tongan pound equal to the Australian pound . Later issues of banknotes had the word sterling crossed out, then removed all together. In 1967, the pound was replaced by the Tongan pa anga pa anga at a rate of 1 pound 2 pa anga.

The pound was the currency of the Bahamas until 1966. It was equivalent to the poundsterling and was divided into 20 shillings , each of 12 penny 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. History In 1825, an imperial order in council was passed for the purposes of introducing the British coinage into all the British colonies. It wasn t immediately very effective due to unrealistic ratings, and it required a further order in council to be passed in 1838. By the middle of the nineteenth century, British coinage had replaced the Spanish dollar throughout all of the British West Indies. But it was only in the Bahamas, Bermuda, and Jamaica that the pound unit of account was used. In the Eastern Caribbean territories and in British Guiana, the dollar unit of account was retained in conjunction with the British coinage at a fixed rate of one dollar equal to four shillings and two pence. Unlike in Bermuda, the US dollar circulated freely alongside the British sterling coinage in the Bahamas. The pound was replaced by the Bahamian dollar dollar in 1966, at a rate of 7 shillings 1 dollar 1 pound 2.86 dollars . This rate meant that the new Bahamas dollar was at a slight discount to the US dollar. For a wider outline of the history of currency in the region, see currencies of the British West Indies .
