The Georgian Dollar is the currency of the State of Georgia. It is divided into 100 pence. Historically, it was divided into 5 shillings, and each shilling into 12 pence, and each penny into 4 farthings (thus 1 dollar = 5 shillings = 60 pence = 240 farthings). Decimalization was very easy for Georgia, as by that time, inflation had made the threepence the smallest coin, and 3 old pence equalled exactly 5 new pence.
