	West Indies Federation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At its widest (west to east), from the Cayman Islands to Barbados it spanned some 2, 425 kilometres (and across approximately 22 degrees of longitude) and from the Turks and Caicos Islands in the north, to the Icacos Point, Trinidad in the south it extended 1,700 kilometres (and across 12 degrees of latitude).
		Even though the West Indies was spread across such a vast area, most of its provinces were mostly contiguous and clustered fairly close together in the Eastern Caribbean, with the obvious exceptions of Jamaica (and the Cayman Islands and Turks and Caicos Islands).
		The federation's currency was the West Indies dollar, which was later succeeded by the East Caribbean dollar, the Jamaican dollar, the Barbados dollar, and the Trinidad and Tobago dollar.

		The East Caribbean dollar ‘XCD’ is presently one of the stronger regional currencies in circulation within the Caribbean, Central America and parts of South America.
		At time of review on June 7, 2004, the East Caribbean dollar had an exchange valuation of 2.6950 XCD to the US-dollar (‘USD’) reflecting the hard currency peg in place since 1976 at a valuation of approximately 2.70 XCD to 1 USD.
		Some analysts have suggested that since the ECCB holds foreign reserves exceeding 90 percent of the monetary base, the regional central bank functions of the ECCB are very similar to that of a currency board arrangement for the XCD.
