Gambian Pound
In 1965, Gambia replaced the British West African pound with the Gambian pound. The banknotes were introduced in denominations of 10 shillings, 1 and 5 pounds, with the coins coming in on February 1966 in denominations of 1, 3 and 6 pence, 1, 2 and 4 shillings. An 8-shillings coin was introduced in 1970.
In 1971 when the Central Bank of The Gambia replaced the Gambia Currency Board, a new currency, the dalasi was introduced.
