Anguilla Coins
Anguilla's official currency is the Eastern Caribbean dollar, which it shares with other territories in the region. This currency has been fundamental to the island's economy since its introduction, replacing previous currencies and providing financial stability.
Anguilla's monetary history
Prior to adopting the Eastern Caribbean dollar, Anguilla used several currencies throughout its history. During the colonial period, the island used the British West Indies dollar and, later, the British pound sterling. The switch to the East Caribbean dollar occurred in 1967, coinciding with the independence movements in the region and the need for a unified currency for the Eastern Caribbean territories.
Numismatic Milestones in Anguilla
Although Anguilla does not issue its own regular coins, it has participated in the production of commemorative coins through the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank. These pieces often celebrate historical events, important figures or the island's rich biodiversity. One notable example is the "EC8" silver coin series, released in 2018, which features designs unique to each member territory, including a coin dedicated to the Anguilla lobster, an important symbol of the island.
