The Lebanese Pound, also known as Lira, is the official currency of Lebanon. As with any other currency, there are several synonyms for it. For example, some people may refer to it as the Lebanese Dollar, or simply LBP. Other synonyms for the Lebanese Pound include the Pound Sterling - after all, they have a similar symbol - and the Lebanese Franc, which was used before the Pound was introduced. Some people may also refer to it as the Lebanese Piastre, a term that was commonly used in the Ottoman Empire. Regardless of what name it goes by, the Lebanese Pound remains an important symbol of the nation's economy and history.
