		Silver dollars were created from 1794 through 1935 with a few short gaps; then a copper-nickel dollar of the same large size was minted from 1971 through 1978.
		The sizes of the dime, quarter, and half dollar are holdovers from before 1964, when they were made from 90% silver; their sizes thus depended upon the amount of silver which cost their respective values, and helps explain why the dime is the smallest of the coins.
		In Lebanon, one dollar is equal to 1500 Lebanese lira, and is used interchangeably with local currency as a de facto legal tender.

		Canada decided to use the dollar instead of a pound sterling system because of the prevalence of Spanish dollars in North America in the 18th century and early 19th century and because of the standardization of the American dollar.
		The Canadas, in particular, favoured the dollar — the Bank of Montreal issued bank notes in dollars in 1817 — whereas the Atlantic colonies, with stronger ties to Britain and weaker ones to the United States, preferred the £.s.d.
		Unlike several U.S. attempts to introduce a dollar coin, the new coins were quickly accepted by the public, owing largely to the fact that the mint and government made it a "cold turkey" switch by removing the $1 and $2 bills from circulation.

		Barbadian attitudes toward the United States and toward U.S. business are also generally favorable, as evidenced by the approximately 26 percent of the import market commanded by goods from the United States.
		Some economists hypothesize, however, that the Barbadian currency is overvalued, which contributes to making Barbadian manufactures uncompetitive in terms of price (and perhaps quality) in markets outside Barbados and restricts the long-term potential output of the economy -- which could have implications for import volumes in the long term.
		Structural Policies Although the Barbadian economy is generally free market-oriented, the government controls a relatively large public sector, including a number of "parastatal" entities.

		There are now several national currencies being used in the various CSME- destined territories: the Jamaican dollar, the Trinidadian dollar, the Barbadian dollar, the Guyanese dollar, the Eastern Caribbean dollar, and even more currencies.
		The onus is, therefore, on the region to ensure that such issues are sorted out well ahead of February so that all visitors can enjoy themselves, to be able to travel hassle-free and not have to worry about the inconvenience of changing currencies according to the territory they happen to be visiting.
		What I would not like to see is the U.S. dollar become the designated currency of choice, as is likely to be the case in the absence of the steps I have indicated, since this would send a powerful message about the CSME financial unity.
