What money currency was used in the 1700s - 1800s in France?

In France during the 1700s to the early 1800s, the primary currency was the livre, which was subdivided into sous and deniers. The livre underwent various changes and was ultimately replaced by the franc in 1795 after the French Revolution. The franc continued to be used throughout the 1800s, evolving into the modern currency system in France.


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.

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
