  1. The States of Guernsey, of which Herm is a dependency, issue their own sterling coins and banknotes; see Guernsey pound.

Herm is the smallest of the Channel Islands that is open to the public.

Herm is only 112 miles long. Cars are banned from the small island just like its Channel Island neighbour, Sark. Unlike Sark, bicycles are banned too. The sandy white beaches make Herm a walker's paradise.

Population: 60 (2002).
