Maryland pound
The Maryland pound (later Maryland dollar) was the currency of Maryland from 1733 until its gradual replacement with the Continental currency and later the United States dollar between the American Revolution and the early 1800s. Initially, the coins of the Pound sterling circulated along with foreign coins. From 1733, this was supplemented by paper money, known as "Proclamation Money", denominated in pounds, shillings and pence, but worth less than sterling, with 1 Maryland shilling (12 pence) = 9 pence sterling. A second "New" issue of notes was introduced in 1751, replacing the earlier notes at a rate of 1 New shilling = 1¼ Proclamation shillings.
