SHP - Saint Helena Pound currency

Saint Helena flag Saint Helena

The Saint Helena Pound (SHP) is the official currency of Saint Helena, Ascension, and Tristan da Cunha, remote British Overseas Territories in the South Atlantic. It has been in use since 1976 and is pegged to the British Pound Sterling (GBP) at a 1:1 ratio. The currency is issued by the Government of Saint Helena and is primarily used within the island territories. Due to the islands' limited economic activity, most transactions, particularly imports, are influenced by the British economy. While the Saint Helena Pound is legal tender within the territories, the British Pound is also widely accepted, providing financial stability to residents and businesses.
