Virginian Dollar (Federalist Failure)

The Virginian dollar is the currency of the Commonwealth of Virginia. One Virginian Dollar is divided into 6 shillings, each of which are divided into 12 pence, in turn divided into 4 farthings. Thus, 1 dollar = 6 shillings = 72 pence = 288 farthings. Each farthing is subdivided, for accounting purposes, into 5 mills (thus, 1 dollar = 1440 mills).

Financial figures are given in the form 1$3s8½d for "one dollar, three shillings, eight and a half pence".

In recent years, a movement to decimalize the currency (as 1 dollar = 100 new pence) has gained momentum, but the non-decimal currency remains for now.
