O Britanski funt
Funt šterling je uradna valuta Združenega kraljestva Velike Britanije in Severne Irske. Neuradno je pogosto imenovan kar funt.
Simbol za funt šterling je £. Oba simbola izhajata iz latinske besede libra, ki pomeni funt. Koda valute po standardu ISO 4217 je GBP, kar pomeni Great Britain Pound, torej britanski funt. Občasno zasledimo tudi kratico UKP, vendar je slednja nepravilna.
Funt šterling je poleg ameriškega dolarja, japonskega jena, evra in avstralskega dolarja ena izmed svetovnih valut, s katerimi se največ trguje.
V Združenem kraljestvu se zaradi razločevanja med denarno in utežno enoto, pa tudi med različnimi denarnimi enotami z enakim imenom, uporablja uradni izraz funt šterling ali samo šterling. V neuradnih položajih se uporablja tudi slengovski izraz quid [kvid].
Šterling je sprva pomenil srebrni peni za ¹⁄₂₄₀ funta. V današnjem času je funt nadomestil peni kot osnovno denarno enoto, saj je inflacija vztrajno spodkopavala njegovo vrednost. V začetku je srebrni peni imel malo manjšo kupno moč kot sodobni funt. WikipediaO Gvajanski dolar
The Guyanese dollar has been the unit of account in Guyana since 29 January 1839. Originally it was intended as a transitional unit to facilitate the changeover from the Dutch guilder system of currency to the British pound sterling system. The Spanish dollar was already prevalent throughout the West Indies in general, and from 1839, the Spanish dollar unit operated in British Guiana in conjunction with British sterling coins at a standard conversion rate of one dollar for every four shillings and twopence. In 1951 the British sterling coinage was replaced with a new decimal coinage which was simultaneously introduced through all the British territories in the Eastern Caribbean. When sterling began to depreciate in the early 1970s, a switch to a US dollar peg became increasingly attractive as an anti-inflationary measure and the Eastern Caribbean Currency Authority made the switch in October 1975. The Guyanese dollar is normally abbreviated with the dollar sign $, or alternatively G$ to distinguish it from other dollar-denominated currencies. Wikipedia
