ROBINSON HURON TREATY AREA 1850 CURRENCY By Hans Matthews
In 1850 the most common currency in use was based on coinage provided by the mint in Great Britain. Throughout the 1850s, the imperial and colonial governments debated the issue of colonial currency and coinage. The imperial government favored a system where all colonies used currency based on sterling, which could be either British currency or local colonial currency tied to sterling, including a decimalized currency. The colonial governments increasingly favored a decimal monetary system based on the United States dollar, because of the practical implications of the increasing trade with the neighboring United States. 28
