When the Lesser Antilles Economic Community was start between these nations, plus Zarroc and Lithwah, it was decided that the Yent be the official currency of the union. As over the next 50 years more nations join the LAEC, the regional currency became more widespread. In 1994, a legislation was passed allowing nation outside of the LAEC, and even outside of the Lesser Antilles, to use the Yent as their currency. At as 2005 estimate, around 100 nations from around the NationStates world use the Antilles Yent as their currency.
