Nova_Scotian_pound
The pound (sign: £) was the currency of Nova Scotia until 1860. It was subdivided into 20 shillings (sign: s or /–), each of 12 pence (sign: d). It was equivalent to sterling and was replaced by the dollar in 1860,[1] at a rate of $5 = £1 ($1 = 4/–), although coins and notes of the dollar currency were not issued until 1861.
