Of

Of the Money and Exchange of GREAT
BRITAIN, IRELAND, and the
BRITISH Plantations in AMERICA.

HE Money of England is express'd in Pounds, Shillings, and Pence, Sterling, in which all Accompts are kept; there is the Fraction of a Penny frequently made Use of, as and of a Penny, which is 1, 2, or 3 Farthings.

The Pound confifts of 20 Shillings, the Shilling of 12 Pence, and the Penny of 4 Farthings.

The Term Sterling is a very ancient Word; Of the Word Authors differ about the Etymology of it; fome Sterling. alledging it is deriv'd from the Name of a certain People; fome, that it comes from a Bird of that Name; others, that it is deriv'd from a Caftle: But we need not be uneafy about its Derivation, fince we know its Signification; For, in my humble Opinion, Sterling and Standard are fynonimous Terms, and are only made ufe of, to diftinguish English from foreign Money - for the Word Sterling is made use of in the Statute of the 25th of Edward III. and in many of the old Indentures of the Mint, and is the fame with the Standard and Allay of old Eafterling, which fig-. nify'd a Penny, and was three times as heavy as it is now.
