The gourde is the currency of Haiti. Its ISO 4217 code is HTG and it is divided into 100 centimes. ISO 4217 is the international standard describing three letter codes (also known as the currency code) to define the names of currencies established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). ...
The first gourde was introduced in 1813. It replaced the livre at a rate of 1 gourde = 8 livre 5 sous. In 1870 and again in 1872, the gourde was revalued, first at a rate of ten to one, then at a rate of three hundred to one. In this period, when only banknotes were being issued, the name piastre was sometimes used instead of gourde, especially on a banknote issue dated 1875. In 1881, the gourde was linked to the French franc at 5 francs = 1 gourde and coin production recommenced. The livre was the currency of Haiti until 1813. ...

The peg to the franc did not last but, in 1912, the gourde was pegged to the US dollar at a value of 5 gourdes to the US dollar.

Indeed, in many places, prices are given not in gourdes, but rather in "Haitian dollars", which must be multiplied by five to convert to gourdes. As of July 2005, there were around 40 gourdes to the US dollar, or 49 to the euro. This article is about general United States currency. ...
