 Nancy and Harold - I am by no means an expert on the history of money,
but I have had to respond to a few research questions on this topic. You
may find the following web sites of interest:

I have been working with a collection of business papers dating in the
first half of the 19th century and Richmond are still using pounds,
shillings, and pence in the 1850's. It looks like imported products are
