Talk:Guernsey pound

message: In , it is claimed that the value of the double was as follows:
1829-1848	80 Doubles = 1 French Franc
1848-1850	2040 Doubles = 1 Pound
1870-1921	2016 Doubles = 1 Pound
1921-1971	1920 Doubles = 1 Pound
The rates to the pound correspond to 8×12×21.25, 8×12×21 and 8×12×20, respectively, whilst the rate of 80 to the franc would tally with the rate of 1920 doubles to the pound and 24 francs to the pound, as was used on Guernsey's World War I banknotes. Can anyone make sense of these rates?Dove1950 14:58, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The WWI notes were denominated in shillings or pounds and francs, with 1 pound = 24 francs. This was not the rate of exchange between sterling and the French franc, that was £1 = 25.22 FF. Could it have been that Guernsey had its own pound, worth 24 FF? If the double was an eighth of a "Guernsey penny", that works out at 80 doubles to the franc (as above), 1920 doubles to the "Guernsey pound" and 2017.7 doubles to the pound sterling, not a million miles away from 2016. In 1921, the bi-currency notes were stamped with the word "British", perhaps indicating a switch to sterling with 8 doubles = 1 British penny. This doesn't explain the earlier rate of 2040 (perhaps something to do with the Latin Union?), nor what happened between 1850 and 1870 (could be a typo on the original site?) but it does suggest that there's more to the double that meets the eye.Dove1950 22:43, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: "The Coin Atlas" by Cribb, Cook and Carradice confirms the exchange rate of 2016 double to the pound sterling before 1921 and states that there were "21 Guernsey shillings to the British pound". I've therefore incorporated this value, together with the link to the French franc, into the article. I can't account for the earlier rate of 2040 yet. It seems to come from "Currencies of the Anglo-Norman Isles" by McCammon () but I can't find a copy.Dove1950 12:50, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

text: With the new information supplied at , the mist is beginning to clear. In (rather belated) response to the above, the franc was initially worth 243 deniers tournois, since there were 240 deniers to the livre, not 12. 12 denier equalled a sou.Dove1950 (talk) 22:54, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

message: "For this reason, ISO 4217 does not include a separate currency code for the Guernsey pound, but where a distinct code is desired GGP is generally used.[1]"
The link to Lloyds redirects to the home page.
XE.com uses the code GGP to represent Guernsey pounds. Could we say it is a de-facto industry code if not de-jure?
