The Anguilla dollar issues, consisting of counterstamped coins in 1967 and non-circulating mintage from 1969, never circulated and were more intended to express sovereignty of the short-lived republic than to be used as circulating coinage. Modern coins in Anguilla's name are in East Caribbean dollars.
