Nova Scotian dollar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The dollar was the currency of Nova Scotia between 1861 and 1871. It replaced the British pound at a rate of 5 dollars = 1 pound and was consequently worth less than the Canadian dollar. The Nova Scotian dollar was replaced by the Canadian dollar at a rate of 73 Canadian cents = 75 Nova Scotian cents, thus maintaining the difference between the two currencies established in 1861.
