The dollar was the currency of Nova Scotia between 1860 and 1871.[1] It replaced the Nova Scotian pound at a rate of 5 dollars = 1 pound (1 dollar = 4 shillings) and was consequently worth less than the Canadian dollar (worth 4s 1.3d). The Nova Scotian dollar was replaced by the Canadian dollar at a rate of 73 Canadian cents = 75 Nova Scotian cents,[2] thus maintaining the difference between the two currencies established in 1860.
