Saint Helenian Pound

The Saint Helenian Pound is the official currency of Saint Helena, Ascension, and Tristan da Cunha. It was introduced in 1976 to replace the Saint Helena Pound and is pegged to the British Pound at a 1:1 ratio. The currency is issued by the government of Saint Helena and is used by the local population for daily transactions. 


The Saint Helenian Pound is not widely accepted outside of Saint Helena, Ascension, and Tristan da Cunha, so visitors to the islands are advised to bring British Pounds or other major currencies. The currency is available in both notes and coins, with denominations ranging from 1 penny to 50 pounds. 


The government of Saint Helena takes measures to ensure the stability of the currency, including maintaining a reserve of foreign currency and controlling inflation through monetary policy. The Saint Helenian Pound plays an important role in the economy of the islands, supporting local businesses and facilitating trade with other countries.
