They were designed by Benjamin Dudley for Gouv- eneur Morris to carry out his idea for a decimal coinage system. This 1,000 unit he called a "mark," the 500 a "quint." These denominations together with the smaller 100 unit piece were designed to standardize the many dif­ ferent coin values among the several states. These patterns represent the first attempt at a decimal ratio and were the forerunners of our present system of money values. Neither the proposed denominations nor the coins advanced beyond the pattern stage The pieces are all dated 1783 and are extremely rare McHENRY S A V I N G S I LIU AlltCIATIII McHenry Savings & LOAN ASSOCIATION 1 209 N Green Street McHenry, Ill inois 60050 ^N.
