The official languages of Jersey are English and French ; since 2010, denominations in banknotes are indicated in English (in pounds) and French (in livres ).
Pound Jersey is tied to the pound in a 1: 1 ratio. UK coins are freely accepted on the island. Banknotes of the Bank of England , Scottish and North Irish banks, as well as Guernsey , not being legal tender, can be accepted on the island. In the UK, the Jersey currency is not officially solvent, but Jersey money can be accepted along with its own. ISO 4217 does not contain a separate code for this currency. In cases where it is necessary, the designation JEP is usually used.
History
Until 1834, the island's currency was a livre, which equated to the pound at the rate of 26 livres per pound, and French money was used. In 1834, in connection with the cancellation of the livre in France, the pound was instituted in 1795 , although French copper coins continued to be in circulation at the rate of 26 sous for 1 shilling until 1924 . In 1841 , pence was established, 13 of which were shilling, and in 1877 12 pence began to make shilling (pound = 4 crowns = 20 shillings = 240 pence). In 1971 , the decimal system was adopted, pound = 100 pence.
Coins
Currently in circulation are 1/2 coins (abolished in 1981 ), 1 penny , 2 pence (since 1971 ), 5, 10 pence (since 1968 ), 20 pence (since 1982 ), 50 pence (since 1969 , s 1983 on the obverse - the image of the castle of Grosne , XIV century), 1 pound (since 1982 ), 2 pounds (since 1998 ). The last two coins are rare.
Banknotes
Until 1831, all parishes of the island could issue their own banknotes. In 1831 , regular printing of banknotes of 1 and 5 pounds was arranged. During the occupation of the islands by Germany , new money was released. In 1963 , banknotes were first printed in a series. The front side of all banknotes shows Queen Elizabeth II . The watermark is a Jersey cow .
