<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1020123, member: 66&quot;]The Mille was authorized for use as a MONEY OF ACCOUNT.&nbsp; It was never authorized as a coin.&nbsp; They were just stating that the government books would be kept accurate down to a tenth of a cent.&nbsp; A money of account is quite often a theorectical curreny that does not exist in physical form.&nbsp; During the pre-federal era each of the states kept their books in defined units of a money of account even though they issued no such money and used a potpouri of different forms of money in actual commerce.&nbsp; These different forms of money would be &quot;converted&quot; on paper using what ever the current exchange rate was and then entered into the books using the official money of account.&nbsp; Because of all the different currencies the accounts typically would not come out to even cents so this law required the keeping of the records to the tenth of a cent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
