During the 1700s, the value of a pound would vary depending on the specific time and location. However, generally speaking, a pound in the 1700s would have had more purchasing power than it does today due to inflation. Pirates often sought Spanish silver coins, known as pieces of eight or Spanish dollars, which were commonly used as a medium of exchange during that time.
