About the Dalasi
The dalasi replaced the Gambian pound in 1971, several years after independence from Britain in 1965, giving The Gambia its own decimal currency separate from British and French colonial systems. The currency floats and its value is closely tied to the fortunes of the country's tourism sector and remittances, both major sources of foreign-currency inflow for the small West African nation.
