<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aidan Work, post: 36841, member: 1824&quot;]Pawjtr,the British 1/3 Farthing was issued to replace the copper Grano of the Knights of Malta.</p><p>The population of Malta was a lot smaller in 1913 (when the last 1/3 Farthings were issued) than it is now.When Malta adopted its own coinage in 1972,there was 10 Mils in 1 Cent,&amp; 100 Cents in a Pound (1,000 Mils in a Pound).There was a currency</p><p>reform around 1983 in which the use of Mils was abolished,&amp; the Pound was officially renamed the Lira (plural;Liri).Most people still refer to the currency unit as the Maltese Pound to distinguish it</p><p>from the Cypriot Pound,which was divided into 1,000 Mils from 1955 to 1982,&amp; 100 Cents since 1983.Both Malta &amp; Cyprus are the only 2 members of the British Commonwealth which are also members of the European Union.Ireland can technically be regarded as being a British Commonwealth-associated country.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
