The currency of the Kingdom of England in 1700 was the Pound Sterling - exactly the same currency as the UK has now.

Well, not quite the same. Today's pound has decimal sub-units. Before that, there were many different non-decimal fractions of a pound as well as there being the guinea (a gold coin worth 1.05 pound), which had its own array of sub-units. Also, there was no pound coin. The largest in that era was only 1/4 of a pound

How much would 20 dollars from the 1700's be worth today?

Best possible answer, it depends. In the 1700's there are as many forms of currency in the the colonies and the infant US as there are colonies (in some cases cities and banks) and states. Some are far more rare than others. These are only the beginning variables. Additionally, there is the very important matter of grading or quality. Some forms of currency from the US and the 18th century are going to have more intrinsic value than others. More specificity is necessary for a more specific answer.


What was the currency in the time of 1623?

In 1623, the currency varied significantly depending on the region. In England, the primary currency was the pound sterling, which was subdivided into shillings and pence. In other parts of Europe, such as Spain, the real was widely used, while in the Netherlands, the guilder was the standard currency. Additionally, many regions still relied on barter systems and trade goods alongside coinage.


When were shillings used?

Shillings were used as a form of currency in various countries, including England, from the 16th century until the decimalization of the British currency in 1971. Other countries, such as Australia and New Zealand, also used shillings as part of their currency systems until they too decimalized their currencies in the 1960s and 1970s.
