Are there really only five independent states using XCD? If so, which of the six listed shouldn't be there? --Zundark, 2001 Nov 17

How is the rate to USD fixed? Do they issue new banknotes together with the US? - Lev 08:13, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] rate
Are you sure the change rate is 2.7? In Antigua I learned it is 2.67, however, for fast calculations, they use 2.7.

[edit] Are they plastic? - or part-plastic?
Someone brought me back from Grenada a souvenir lucky cent encased in a keyring. This week the keyring broke and the cent came out. I have just realised this is plastic, although it looks like metal. Is this how the currency is made for the East Carribean, or was this just a fake made for tourists? DavidFarmbrough 08:36, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
- David, if you check on the ECCB website, you will see that the 1 cent coin is made of aluminium, which would explain the lack of weight. Otherwise it might be a plastic souvenir coin for tourists.--Vivenot 10:25, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
