The dollar is the currency of Ibagli. It was introduced on 14 February 1966 as a decimal currency to replace the Australian pound, which was also demonetized in Australia on that day, with the value of the Ibaglian dollar set at the value of one-half that of the Australian pound, which was also the value of the new Australian dollar. It was originally planned to be issued at a 1:1 ratio with the old Australian pound, and to also be based on the £sd system, but the Kenilworth government decided that decimalisation in Australia and New Zealand was a convenient trigger for the abolition of what it considered to be an outdated monetary system.
