Are there really only five independent states using XCD? If so, which of the six listed shouldn't be there? --Zundark, 2001 Nov 17
I don't know... I really should go to bed... I don't know if I can't count, or what... -- SJK
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.

- Sorry! I've seen it changed:

[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)
[edit] This has to be retitled.
This article has to be retitled and shifted to East Caribbean States dollar, as that is what is inscribed on the coins. - (British Commonwealth Numismatics 07:05, 27 March 2007 (UTC))
- If this page is to be retitled, the matter should first be discussed here, then the page should be "moved". The redirect you set up actually deleted the entire article. For my part, I'll vote for the move as the coins do indeed say "East Caribbean States".

- Against Just because it's on the coin doesn't mean it should be named that way. The standing convention is <Adjectival country/region name> <denomination>. "East Caribbean" is already an adjective. French franc coins have "RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE" inscribed on them. Does it make the article named "République française franc" or "French Republic franc"?
- Against, per the above. —Nightstallion (?) 14:54, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Elizabeth II
The images in this article show portraits of Queen Elizabeth II. Is her portrait shown on all of the coins, despite the lack of a Dominican queen? (212.247.11.153 21:02, 16 July 2007 (UTC))

- Is her portrait on all the banknotes as well? If not, which notes have her portrait or effigy, if any? Respectfully, SamBlob (talk) 03:05, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
- Yes she is the central figure on the banknotes as well. Please check the appropriate links on the article page. Enlil Ninlil (talk) 05:29, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
