About British Pound (£)
The British Pound Sterling (GBP, ISO 4217 code 826) is the official currency of the United Kingdom, issued by the Bank of England (est. 1694, the world's oldest continuously operating central bank). Subdivided into 100 pence (singular: penny). Banknotes: £5, £10, £20, £50 (the King Charles III series replacing Queen Elizabeth II portraits June 2024); coins: 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, £1, £2. GBP is the world's oldest currency still in continuous use (origins traced to 760 CE Anglo-Saxon silver penny). Also de facto used in the Crown Dependencies (Jersey, Guernsey, Isle of Man — which issue their own GBP-pegged notes), the British Overseas Territories (Gibraltar, Falklands, Saint Helena — also with locally issued GBP-pegged notes), and historically across the Sterling Area. The Bank of England targets 2% CPI inflation per the Bank of England Act 1998 + HMT remit letter. GBP is the world's 4th-largest reserve currency (~5% of global FX reserves per IMF COFER 2024).
About Nepalese Rupee (₨)
The Nepalese Rupee (NPR, ISO 4217 code 524, symbol ₨ or Rs) is the official currency of the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal, issued by the Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB, est. 1956). Subdivided into 100 paisa. Banknotes: ₨5, ₨10, ₨20, ₨50, ₨100, ₨500, ₨1,000 (the highest denomination; current 'Nepal Rastra Bank' series features Nepalese landscapes and wildlife including Mount Everest, the Bengal tiger, and traditional Nepali themes); coins: ₨1, ₨2, ₨5, ₨10. The Nepalese rupee has been pegged to the Indian rupee at NPR1.6 per INR since February 12, 1993 — making NPR effectively a managed proxy for INR. Nepal abolished its 240-year-old monarchy in 2008 and became a federal democratic republic. The country is sandwiched between India (south, east, west) and China (north — the Himalayan border) and is heavily dependent on remittances (~25-30% of GDP) from migrant workers in Gulf states, Malaysia, and India. Nepal contains 8 of the world's 10 highest peaks (Mount Everest 8,848m, Kangchenjunga 8,586m, Lhotse 8,516m, Makalu 8,481m, Cho Oyu 8,201m, Dhaulagiri 8,167m, Manaslu 8,163m, Annapurna I 8,091m). Tourism contributes ~7% of GDP.
