In my dreams I return to the days of the gold Standard when the pound
was worth a very significant 2 pounds 3 shillings and fourpence, at
least.

Indeed. The old BAOR made sure that there were more old shillings in
circulation in Germany than tere were in Britain.

 

There are very few currencies that are actually worth more than the
quid, as single units.

The Maltese Pound and the Cyprus Pound are the only two I know of.

So 'tis. Apologies.

 

Cheers for that.

None of them is a currency I've ever had to do any biz with, which
explains it.

Latvian Lats, mind. It's a sad statement on the Empire when the bleedin'
Latvians out-steroid sterling.

 

Kuwaiti Dinar is another one.

 

You can be let off, as http://uk.finance.yahoo.com calls it the pound
too.

It's a throw back to the imperialist days when those English bastards
terrorised our women and drank our beer.

But that's a UK site, this one is the definitive reference site for
Maltese currency:

http://www.centralbankmalta.com/site/currency2g.html

To which I owe my very existence.

 

Heh, not me. I owe a quarter of my existence to an Irishman. I think he
got lost on his way to the bar and ended up in Malta.
