The Marteau Early 18th Century Currency Converter was initially designed to facilitate computations with 17th and 18th moneys. Our conversion tools handle the most frequent (and mostly non decimal) systems of the 17th and 18th centuries. Read the Frequently Asked Questions-section for further information.

The website around these tools offers you additional information on the individual currencies, it offers you a monetary dictionary and it gives you information on prices and wages in different early 18th century moneys. All these areas should grow gradually.

We hope we can provide with our tools first ideas of how money mattered in the 17th and 18th centuries. We are therefore eager to offer editions of 17th and early 18th century texts dealing with monetary questions alongside with the conversion tools.

The project will be wikified over the next months the in order to allow and invite specialists to modify our work. Contact if you feel tempted to give the site directions we did not forsee.
