Sets with all sub-unit denominations in words

[<k>]

First let me explain that I am restricting myself to sub-units here. For example, the dollar is a unit, the cent is a sub-unit. Even if a coinage consistently expresses its sub-units all in numerals, or all in words, any denominations expressed in the top unit are often inconsistent with the pattern of the sub-unit denominations. For instance, the Falkland Islands sub-denominational coins all carry a simple numeral (e.g. 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 or 50), but the pound coin carries its denomination in words: "ONE POUND". And whether the denomination on a dollar coin of any country is expressed as "$1", "1 DOLLAR" or "ONE DOLLAR" is highly variable, however the lower denominations are expressed.

Furthermore, I will deal with only those sets where ALL the sub-denominations are expressed in words. To give an example, in the reign of King George V, all the sub-denominations of the UK were expressed in word - EXCEPT for the silver threepence, which carried the numeral 3.

From 1936 onward, the sub-denominational units of the UK's pre-decimal coinage were all expressed in words only.

From 1968 to 1981, UK decimal coins carried either numerals, or both words and numerals, e.g. "5 NEW PENCE"  or "5 FIVE PENCE".

Since 2008 the decimal sub-units have all been expressed in words.

All Australia's pre-decimal coins fit into this topic - the decimal cent/s denominations do not.

The Bahamas coins, upon independence, fitted this topic.

However, since 2005 they have introduced new 1 cent and 10 cent coins with new designs.

These both carry numerals rather than words.

Their decimal coins use both numerals and words.
