The dollar has been the currency of Antigua since 1913. The East Caribbean States dollar currently circulates.
History
Before 1913, the British pound circulated on Antigua. In 1913, the first private banknotes were issued on Antigua, denominated in dollars. From 1920, some of these notes also bore the value in sterling, with 1 dollar = 4 shillings 2 pence. During this period, no subdivision of the dollar was issued and British coins continued to circulate. For details of notes and coins, see British coinage and British banknotes. ...
