	History of The Lebanese Pound
		Following the downfall of the Ottoman Empire in September 1918, the Turkish Pound was replaced by a Sterling based Egyptian currency as legal tender in the states under the French and British mandate.
		The Egyptian Pound was issued by a private British institution, the National Bank of Egypt, and had been previously used by the British, since much of their supplies were from Egypt.
		Against these privileges, BSL agreed to pay the Lebanese and Syrian governments, on a yearly basis, part of its profits as a percentage of the quantity of currency in circulation which should not exceed 25,000,000 pounds, and accept local representatives in its board of directors and consultative committee.
