| FIRST STAMPS ISSUED 2 January 1968. CURRENCY 1951, 100 cents = 1 West Indian dollar. 1962, 100 cents = U.S. dollar. Successor to the Virgin Islands (q.v.) Stamps with the word 'British' added to the title were issued in 1968 to avoid confusion with the adjacent Virgin Islands of the United States. One subsequent issue reverted to the former title but since 16 December 1968 all issues have been inscribed 'British'. The group remains a Dependent Territory of the United Kingdom. |
