| 1 Compiled from the annual reports of the State Treasurer as printed in the Votes and Proceedings, usually in November of each year. The new emission and certificates were worth about one-third their face value. Lawful money included (in addition to specie) revenue money and loan-office money, which passed at a discount of not more than twenty-five per cent. Continental money after 1784 was worth perhaps one-half of one per cent of its face value. | ||||||||||||
