The Dorchester County Historical Society is preparing an exhibit on 
wheat growing on the Eastern Shore.  I understand that this area was 
known as the 'Breadbasket of the American Revolution' and that both 
British and Colonial agents purchased supplies for both sides of the 
conflict.  We have a replica of colonial Maryland currency.  Would it be 
appropriate to display Delaware, Pennsylvania, and/or New Jersey 
currency as well?  Would all of these bills have been legal tender and 
circulating in this area at the time?

Thanks!
