Constable complaining of the inconvenience caused
by the fluctuation in the value of French money, "which has always
been current in this island," the said coins are to pass at their
current value, but may be refused.

The values are fixed thus:--

Pieces or crowns of 6 Francs to be worth 4s. 10d.
Petits Ecus, 2s. 4d.
Pieces of 24 Sous, 10d.
Pieces of 12 Sous, 5d.

This order is not to apply to worn-out or defaced coins, or to
Irish shillings and sixpences.

32.--April 24, 1817. The last order repealed, but the coins must be
clearly marked, and need only be received to a fixed amount.

33.--June 14, 1821. Liards are to be held worth 7 to the sou.

34.--April 15, 1829. The order of 6th July, 1816, repealed so far as
regards the old French crowns of 6 francs.

35.--April 27th, 1829. Considering that French money has been from time
immemorial, and still is, legal currency in this island, orders
that the _new_ French coinage shall be in use here--one franc to be
worth 10 Guernsey pennies.

36.--May 1, 1848. The French money not always being available in
sufficient quantity, English gold and silver coins and Bank of
England notes are to b used concurrently with French money. The
pound British sterling is to be held worth L1 1s. 3d. Guernsey
sterling.
