Changeover

[edit]

Rather a convenient value they gave the dollar in terms of the old pound. Were the old pre-decimal coins still legal tender, even if they would now be rather inconvenient values? Nik42 02:25, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure. But according to my experience, a change like this (pound to dollar in many current or former British territories), pound would be most liekly to cease to be legal tender soon after the changeover. --Chochopk 02:59, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure I grasp the question, but the entire pount system was ditched in 1970, with Bermuda cent coins issued along with the Bermuda dollar notes. Aodhdubh 11:38, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Name

[edit]

Moved the text back to Bermuda pound. If it is deemed necessary to use an adjective, it should be BERMUDIAN pound, as there is no such word as 'Bermudan', despite its frequent mistaken use by Canadans, Americians, and other non-Bermudians. Aodhdubh 11:35, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If it's to be Bermuda pound, please, rather than just copying the text over, arrange for an admin to move the whole article (including its edit history) across. I have no objection to the move.

It appears that Bermudian is the right word. It's the first listed on List of adjectival forms of place names (before Bermudan). CIA says Bermudian. The article of Bermuda has mention of Bermudian but not Bermudan. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 08:01, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
There is a Bermudian English, and see wikt:Bermudan and wikt:Bermudian. I'm moving. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 09:07, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
