Decimalization of the British Monetary System

Peter Preston-Morley writes:

Over a century before 'Decimal Day' the British government weighed the pros and cons of a decimalized currency. First proposed in 1824 and continuing through the century, Parliament debated the issue, organized commissions to research its potential, and published long studies into the matter. Conclusions were split, with some noting 'an incalculable advantage' of the system, and others finding there to be 'few merits' in decimalization. As a result, the British continued to use the duo-decimalized pound, shilling and pence system until 1971.

Money in 17th-century New Netherland

Grain and tobacco, wampum/sewan, and beaver/drielings: making sense of money in seventeenth-century New Netherland and North America

Program Description: The Hudson Area Library in collaboration with the Jacob Leisler Institute for the Study of Early New York History hosts a talk by Simon Middleton, PhD. and Associate Professor of History at William and Mary, about the diverse types of currency used by early North American settlers.

Middleton's talk will offer some thoughts on what we should make of the variety of coins and commodities used by settlers-everything from coins, grain, tobacco, wampum, and beaver pelts. Historians have long puzzled over the development of these diverse currencies, which the colonists gathered together in conventions referred to as "current money" or money of "this place."

Date/Time: Thursday, January 25, 6-7:30pm

Location: The event will be held virtually via Zoom.
