Lebanese pound

The Lebanese pound (Arabic: ''lira''; French: ''livre''; ISO 4217: LBP) is the currency unit of Lebanon. It is divided into 100 ''piastres'' but inflation has eliminated the subdivisions.
The plural form of lira, as used on the currency, is either ''lirat'' (ليرات) or the same, whilst there are four forms for qirsh: the dual ''qirshan'' (قرشان), the plural ''qirush'' (قروش) used with numbers 3-10, the accusative singular ''qirsha'' (قرشا) used with 11-99, or the genitive singular ''qirshi'' (قرش) used with multiples of 100. In both cases, the number determines which plural form is used. Note that before the Second World War, the Arabic spelling of the subdivision was غرش (''girsh''). All of Lebanon's coins and banknotes are bilingual in Arabic and French.
==History==
Before World War I, the Ottoman lira was used. After the fall of the Ottoman Empire, the currency became the Egyptian pound in 1918. Upon gaining control of Syria and Lebanon, the French replaced the Egyptian pound with a new currency for Syria and Lebanon, the Syrian pound, which was linked to the French franc at a value of 1 pound = 20 francs. Lebanon issued its own coins from 1924 and banknotes from 1925. In 1939, the Lebanese currency was officially separated from that of Syria, though it was still linked to the French franc and remained interchangeable with Syrian money. In 1941, following France's defeat by Nazi Germany, the currency was linked instead to the British pound sterling at a rate of 8.83 Lebanese pounds = 1 pound sterling.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Payment Media, Banknotes and Coins - The Historical Development of the Lebanese Pound )〕 A link to the French franc was restored after the war but was abandoned in 1949.
Before the Lebanese Civil War, 1 U.S. dollar was worth 3 pounds. During the civil war the value decreased rapidly until 1992, when one dollar was worth over 2500 pounds. Subsequently the value increased again and since December 1997 the rate of the pound has been fixed at 1507.5 pounds per US$.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Economic & Financial Data )
