   Note: Many of the States while colonies had issued bills of
         credit which had depreciated in different degrees in
         the different colonies. Thus, in New England currency
         (used also in Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana,
         Illinois, Missouri, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida),
         after the adoption of the decimal system, the pound in
         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,
