Having shown how to reduce the old currencies of the several United States, and also those of Canada and Nova Scotia to Federal money, likewise to reduce Federal money to those currencies again, we now present the following Table, containing rules for changing each currency to the par of all the others. That is, for changing the currencies of the several States to their equal value in each of the other states. This is called domestic Exchange. To use the following Table, first find the given currency at the top of the columns-then casting the eye down the column, until you come to the currency into which the given currency is to be changed and you will have the rule. Thus, if it be required to change New England currency to New York currency, we find New England currency at the top of the first or left hand column-then casting the eye down that column until we come to New York currency, we have the rule, viz: add one third, and so for any other currency.
