Current banknotes in circulation
St. Helena currently uses the St. Helena pound as its official currency. Banknotes in circulation include denominations of 5, 10 and 20 pounds, issued by the Bank of St. Helena.

Old banknotes and notaphilic landmarks
Prior to the introduction of the St. Helena pound in 1976, the island used St. Helena government bills and, before that, British currency. A significant milestone in St. Helena's notational history was the issue of commemorative bills in 1984 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of St. Helena's status as a British colony. These special bills, along with previous issues, are now coveted by collectors because of their rarity and historical value.
