Virginia pound of account

CUR-V26-VIRGINIA-POUND · Research draft

Virginia local pound reckoning in merchant accounts and contracts, settled through several media.

One scoped currency identity. Changes to subdivisions, scale, standard, instruments or issuers do not by themselves create children. A distinct account unit can remain a successor.
Dated observations: 1734–1765; this does not establish the entire lifetime.

Parents / predecessors

No distinct predecessor currency is established in the loaded view.

Children / successors

No distinct successor currency is established in the loaded view.
