The Virginian dollar is the currency of the Commonwealth of Virginia. One Virginian Dollar is divided into 10 dimes, 100 cents, or 1000 mills. This decimalization was proposed by Thomas Jefferson, along with the Virginian System of Measurements. The decimalized dollar was established by the Virginian Currency Act, which also defined the new dollar in terms of the previous £sd units (to facilitate conversion of accounts) as follows: * 1 pound = $3.38 * 1 shilling = 168 mills * 1 penny = 14 mills * 1 farthing = 3½ mills Modern currency
