British Pound Sterling

The British Pound Sterling (GBP) is the world's oldest currency still in use, with origins in Anglo-Saxon England where 240 silver pennies (sterlings) weighed one pound. The pound was decimalised in 1971, divided into 100 pence. Monetary policy is managed by the Bank of England, founded in 1694. The GBP is the fourth most traded currency in global foreign exchange markets and remains the third largest reserve currency despite the UK's departure from the European Union in 2020.

Australian Dollar

The Australian Dollar (AUD) is the official currency of Australia and the fifth most traded currency globally. Introduced in 1966 to replace the Australian pound, the AUD was the first decimal currency in the Commonwealth. Like the Canadian Dollar, the AUD is a commodity currency — its value is strongly correlated with prices of iron ore, coal, gold, and agricultural products, which are Australia's major exports. The Reserve Bank of Australia manages monetary policy, and the AUD is also the official currency of several Pacific island nations.
