This money was used in this country until A. D. 1786, when, by an act of Congress, the present system, which is called Federal Money, was adopted. Some of these denominations, however, are still used in this country, as the shilling and the penny, but they are different in value from the English. In English money 4s. 6d. is equal in value to the Spanish and American dollar. But a dollar is called six shillings in New England; eight shillings in New York; and 7s. 6d. in New Jersey. The English guinea is equal to 28s. in New England currency. The dollar will be considered 6s. in this book, unless notice is given of a different

value.
