Libyan pound

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The pound (Arabic junieh) was the currency of Libya between 1951 and 1971. It replaced the Algerian franc and British Military Authorities' lira at rates of 1 pound = 480 lire = 980 francs. The pound was divided into 100 piastres (qirsh) and 1000 milliemes. The pound was replaced, at par, by the dinar.
