The pound was the currency of Delaware until 1793. Initially, sterling coin circulated along with foreign currencies.[1][2] This was supplemented by local paper money from 1723.[3] Although the local currency was denominated in £sd, it was worth less than sterling, with 1 Delaware shilling = 9 pence sterling.
The State of Delaware issued Continental currency denominated in £sd and Spanish dollars, with the dollar equal to 7 shillings and 6 pence. The Continental currency was replaced by the U.S. dollar at the rate of 1000 continental dollars = 1 U.S. dollar.
