<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KLJ, post: 179437, member: 1910&quot;]The four commonwealths (KY, VA, PA, MA) that are among the fifty states are grandfathered titles left over from before the word &quot;commonwealth&quot; was defined as it is today.&nbsp; As it&#039;s used today, commonwealths (Puerto Rico, Northern Marianas, etc.) are governments with more control of their internal affairs than states, but they&#039;re not independent countries.&nbsp; Hence, the Philippines use of the title in &#039;36-&#039;46.&nbsp; The exact arrangement for issuance of money is up to the agreement between the commonwealth and, for lack of a better term, the protecting power.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
