Piracy Before The Invention Of Decimal Currency

I've made a table for use if I ever run a Pirates campaign again.

I'll bet two and six that most people don't know half the coins.

Did you know that in both times of High Piracy a pound of silver wasn't worth a Pound?  Never mind that there weren't no coin called a Pound.  Sovereigns, yes; Pounds, no.

    Clicked on the link thinking you'd included the table. Just English currency, or also Spanish, French, Dutch and Portugese?

      So far just English Currencies for both golden ages of piracy.

      Going to have French, Dutch and Spanish coinage too.

      Right now it's a spreadsheet, but I plan on having something posted before too long.
