Also in circulation on the Island of St. Helena, the Island of Ascension, Tristan da Cugna Island, the Falklands and in Gibraltar.

One pound is subdivided into one hundred pence. The abbreviation UKL - United Kingdom Libra is also sometimes used. The name derives from antique silver coins. However, there are other versions of the origin of the concept of "sterling”.

The Polish zloty (symbol: zl,, code: PLN, number : 985) is the official currency in Poland. The money is called this way here since the 16th century. Modern zloty appeared in 1919 after Poland regained its independence.

The name meaning "golden" was used to call so a ducat coin made of gold. Zloty is subdivided into 100 groszy. Upon the collapse of the socialist camp Poland has joined the EU, but has not yet become a member of the Eurozone, preferring to preserve its own national currency.
