Paul,

At the 1996 South Carolina Genealogical Society's Annual Workshop, Robert Y.
Clay, then the Genealogical Reference Archivist of the Library of Virginia,
said the deed references of different types of currency only indicated the
currency with the highest rate at that time. Has this guideline changed?

 Notice also how the money was designated, since that currency that was to
be used to pay the grantor often was recited and required, e.g., "payable in
current money of Virginia", "to be paid in New York Gold Coin",
"consideration is L__?__ Proclamation Money of NC", etc., etc.
