the different colonies. Thus, in New England currency
(used also in Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana,

paper money was worth only $3.333, and the shilling
162/3 cts., or 6s. to $1; in New York currency (also in
North Carolina, Ohio, and Michigan), the pound was
worth $2.50, and the shilling 121/2 cts., or 8s. to $1;
in Pennsylvania currency (also in New Jersey, Delaware,
and Maryland), the pound was worth $2.70, and the
shilling 131/2 cts., or 7s. 6d. to $1; and in Georgia
currency (also in South Carolina), the pound was worth
$4.20[frac67], and the shilling 21[frac37] cts., or 4s
8d. to $1. In many parts of the country . . . the
reckoning by shillings and pence is not yet entirely
abandoned. --Am. Cyc. (1890)
[1913 Webster]

3. The Spanish real, of the value of one eight of a dollar,
or 12? cets; -- formerly so called in New York and some
