Dominican dollar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The dollar was the currency of Dominica until 1862. The currency comprised of various cut or holed Spanish dollars and other Spanish colonial coins. The dollar was subdivided into bits (worth 9 pence). Before 1813, there were 11 bits to the holed dollar (12½ bits to an unholed dollar). After 1813, there were 16 bits to the holed dollar (18 bits to an unholed dollar). In 1862, sterling was established as the official currency of the island.
Since 1935, dollars have once more ciculated on Dominica, first the British West Indies dollar, the the East Caribbean dollar.
