Money and Exchange in Europe and America, 1600-1775: A Handbook (Published for the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture, Williamsburg, Virginia)

The handbook explains how money and exchange functioned as elements of the American economy in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries; it also provides sufficient technical and statistical information to allow the reader to convert a sum recorded in one currency into its equivalent in another. McCusker combines this with a compilation of exhaustive tables that give the commercial rate of exchange between London and the major cities of Europe and the British colonies.
