Removed ref to 'Jersey Pound'[edit]

This was a broken (red) link, stating that double is a fraction of a Jersey Pound.. this isn't true of the currency, and I can't find any ref to double in connection with the word jersey in any dictionary or with a googletest ~ Veledan | Talk | c. 20:12, 29 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't now, but it was historically. I don't know when it was abolished or what fraction it was, however, but I have seen old coins with values of, for example, "4 doubles"
Correction, it was true of teh Guernsey pound, not the Jersey pound. The double was equivalent to ½ farthing See [1] and scroll down to "Guernsey"
