<p>[QUOTE="scottishmoney, post: 1193191, member: 12789"]One of the fascinating aspects of collecting colonial era currency is finding the different names that these places went by back then - Delaware was a autonomous province of Pennsylvania up until the mid 1760s and notice that it is referred to as the counties of New Castle, Kent, and Sussex upon Delaware on the note. Similarly Rhode Island is referred to as "Rhode Island and Providence Plantations" - which curiously still is the full legal name of the state - but the rest is conveniently lopped off. Massachusetts was then known as "Massachusetts-Bay"[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
