Caribbean guilder
The Netherlands Antillean guilder will continue to circulate and plans to implement the Caribbean guilder will not be finalized until the islands' Central Bank situation is resolved. The new currency will be abbreviated CMg (for Curacao, Sint Maarten guilder) and would be pegged to the United States dollar at the same exchange rate as the Netherlands Antillean guilder (1 USD = 1.79 NAg = 1.79 CMg). As the BES islands (Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba) adopted the U.S. dollar directly on 1 January 2011, the introduction of the CMg would mean the end of the circulation of the Netherlands Antillean guilder.
Solomon Islands dollar
The Solomon Islands dollar did not descend directly from the Spanish pieces of eight, as is the case with the US, the Canadian, and East Caribbean dollars; several other currencies called "dollars" are also not direct descendants, e.g., the Australian and Jamaican currencies. The Solomon Islands dollar is an offshoot of the Australian dollar, which is in turn essentially a half pound sterling. Australia followed the pattern of South Africa in that when it adopted the decimal system, it decided to use the half pound as its unit.
