Dear all!
What is the exact meaning of the words in bold in the following passage? It is from the book “Persian Gulf Command” by Ashley Jackson, p 343. Balance is the money in bank account, but the surprising point here is that the words "sterling" and "dollar" are not written with capital letter. Due to that, I am not sure about what I think about the meaning of it.
We shall need our sterling and dollar balances of some £20,000,000 but that will probably be insufficient for all the reforms we are planning.
Many thanks in advance.
