<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brandon spiegel, post: 2536226, member: 67787&quot;]Hello, I have been assigned a research essay for my dual credit English literature class, where we use classic text and basically, write an essay using a prompt that we choose. I am writing about coins that were referenced in a text called &quot;A short narrative of my life&quot; by Olaudah Equiano. This man was a slave, but ended up purchasing his own freedom for 40 pounds, and was a slave in multiple countries including the Spanish colonies, the US colonies, and England. Amazingly, he mentioned multiple different denominations of coins in his text. I am wondering if you all have any general information about pistareens, bits (or 8 realz pieces), shillings, pounds, pences, or dollars, from the early 1760s era. It can simply be general information, or an article; which ever one is best for you. Also, please keep in mind that it is no rush as I have well over a month to complete this essay. Also, any information regarding how these coins may have been accepted differently in terms of monetary value will be greatly appreciate, because at this point I am fairly lost outside of the basics of the realz, bits, and pences. Thank you in advance for your time, I hope that you have a great day![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
