The '''dalasi''' is the currency of [[the Gambia]]. It is subdivided into 100 bututs. The dalasi was adopted in [[1971]]. It replaced the [[Gambian pound]] at a rate of 1 pound = 5 dalasi, i.e., 1 dalasi = 0.2 pound = 4 [[shilling]]s.
==Coins==

In 1971, coins in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 25 and 50 bututs and 1 dalasi were introduced. The reverse designs of the three higher denominations were taken from the corresponding denominations of the previous currency (1, 2 and 4 shillings), with the reverse designs for the lower three coins coming from the 6, 1 and 3 pence coins, respectively.
New 1 dalasi coins were introduced in 1987, modelled on the [[British Fifty Pence coin|50 pence coin]] of the [[United Kingdom]].
Only 25 and 50 bututs and 1 dalasi coins are currently in circulation, they are of the 1998 issue which also included 1, 5 and 10 bututs coins.
==Banknotes==
Banknotes currently in circulation are 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 dalasis. 1 dalasi notes were issued between 1971 and 1987. Current banknotes were issued in 1996 and reprinted in 2001.
On [[July 27]], [[2006]] new banknotes were issued with similar designs but with security upgrades <ref>{{cite web | author= Daily Observer | date=[[2006-07-17]] | url= http://www.observer.gm/enews/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5160&Itemid=33&PHPSESSID=f4a888cec55892754f47bb7300a37491 | title= Gambia gets new banknotes | accessdate=2006-07-31}}</ref>.
