Thus, five, fifteen (meaning five ones, fifteen ones), five apples, fifteen trees, six bushels, three yards, are simple numbers. 189. A Simple Denominate Number is a simple number whose unit is used as a measure (191) of that number. Thus, 5 dollars, 11 miles, 10 acres are denominate numbers, because 1 dollar, 1 mile, 1 acre, are respectively exact divisors, or measures of those numbers. 190. A Compound Denominate Number, sometimes called a Compound Number, consists of two or more properly related simple denominate numbers taken together. Thus, 5 yards, 3 feet; 3 quarts, 2 pints, 1 gill; 1 mile, 7 furlongs; are compound denominate numbers. 191. A Measure of a denominate number is a standard unit, with which we compare the number, and thus determine its numerical value, weight, or size. Thus, the measure of United States money is the dollar ($); of English Money, the pound (£); of wood, the cord; &c.; &c. 192. Money is any thing used as medium of Commerce; but among civilized nations is usually stamped metal, called coins, or printed bills or notes, called Paper Money. UNITED STATES MONEY. 193. Federal, or United States Money, is the legal currency of the United States. The unit of this currency is the dollar. The Currency of a country is the money employed in the commerce of that country. It consists of both paper money and coin. A Mint is a place where money is coined. Bullion is gold and silver uncoined, or coined gold and silver when estimated in bulk by weight. 10 mills (m.) = 1 cent. (%) 1 = 10 = 100 = 1000 = 10000 Each of these denominations, with the exception of mills, is represented by a coin, or piece of stamped metal, issued by the U. S. Mint, which, in addition to the above, issues several other coins, all of which are represented in the following tables: |
