Found this on Wiki.

Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States: Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

Six of the states using the EC$ are independent states: Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. The other two are British overseas territories: Anguilla and Montserrat. The only OECS member state not using the Eastern Caribbean dollar is British Virgin Islands, which uses the U.S. dollar.

The combined population is close to 600,000 (2005 and 2006 census and estimates), which is comparable to Montenegro or the city of Washington, D.C..

Queen Elizabeth appears on the banknotes and the obverse of the coins: She is the head of state of all the states and territories using the EC$, except Dominica.

Sorry for my absence but have been busy drilling holes in the ocean floor. Looks like all the questions got answered anyway. I will resume posting more pics when I get home some time at the end of this month assuming no more work is added to my contract...

Before he became a teacher, our youngest son worked on an oil barge in the Gulf of Mexico.

Good pay, but challenging work.
