In 1742, following depeciation of the Old Tenor notes, "New Tenor" notes were issued worth 4 times the Old tenor notes. These were replaced, in 1755, by the "Lawful Money" issue. These notes were initially equal to their face value in sterling and replaced the previous issues at the rates of 1 Lawful shilling = 3⅓ New Tenor shillings = 13⅓ Old Tenor shillings. The "Colonial" issue of paper money was introduced in 1763, worth 1⅓ times the Lawful Money notes. The State of New Hampshire issued Continental Currency denominated in £sd and Spanish Dollars , with 1 dollar = 6 shillings. The continental currency was replaced by the U.S. Dollar at a rate of 1000 continental dollars = 1 U.S. dollar. |
