O Britanski funt
Funt šterling je uradna valuta Združenega kraljestva Velike Britanije in Severne Irske. Neuradno je pogosto imenovan kar funt.
Simbol za funt šterling je £. Oba simbola izhajata iz latinske besede libra, ki pomeni funt. Koda valute po standardu ISO 4217 je GBP, kar pomeni Great Britain Pound, torej britanski funt. Občasno zasledimo tudi kratico UKP, vendar je slednja nepravilna.
Funt šterling je poleg ameriškega dolarja, japonskega jena, evra in avstralskega dolarja ena izmed svetovnih valut, s katerimi se največ trguje.
V Združenem kraljestvu se zaradi razločevanja med denarno in utežno enoto, pa tudi med različnimi denarnimi enotami z enakim imenom, uporablja uradni izraz funt šterling ali samo šterling. V neuradnih položajih se uporablja tudi slengovski izraz quid [kvid].
Šterling je sprva pomenil srebrni peni za ¹⁄₂₄₀ funta. V današnjem času je funt nadomestil peni kot osnovno denarno enoto, saj je inflacija vztrajno spodkopavala njegovo vrednost. V začetku je srebrni peni imel malo manjšo kupno moč kot sodobni funt. WikipediaO Ganski cedi
The cedi is the unit of currency of Ghana. It is the fourth historical and only current legal tender in the Republic of Ghana. One Cedi is divided into one hundred Pesewas.
After independence, Ghana separated itself from the British West African pound, which was the currency of the British colonies in the region. The new republic's first independent currency was the Ghanaian pound. In 1965, Ghana decided to leave the British colonial monetary system and adopt the widely accepted decimal system. The African name Cedi was introduced in place of the old British pound system. Ghana's first President Kwame Nkrumah introduced Cedi notes and Pesewa coins in July 1965 to replace the Ghanaian pounds, shillings and pence. The Cedi bore the portrait of the President and was equivalent to eight shillings and four pence, i.e. one hundred old pence, so that 1 pesewa was equal to one penny.
After the February 1966 military coup, the new leaders wanted to remove the face of Nkrumah from the banknotes. The "new Cedi" was worth 1.2 Cedis, which made it equal to half of a pound sterling at its introduction. Wikipedia
