Abstract: We provide a historical summary, legislative history, and the first spreadsheet data series of the British Honduras Board of Commissioners of Currency (1894-1976) and examine to what extent it operated as a currency board using statistical tests. This paper makes the annual balance sheets of the currency board available in machine-readable form for the first time, in a companion spreadsheet workbook.
