Likely not, but these curious terms stem from a fact that is not commonly known. . . similarly their* usage is confined to the narrow ac­ tivity of identifying various issues of Colonial paper money. In England and in the American Colonies, prior to 1752 the calendar year began on March 25th and end- on the following March 24th. After 1752 the cal­ endar year was changed to what we have always re­ cognized . .. the year beginning on January 1st and ending on December 31st. Thus the "Old Style Year" and the "New Style Year". Confusion as to year de­ signation had existed for a long time in the American Colonies because many countries in Europe had changed to the "New Style Year" long before 1752 but England had not and understandably, neither had her American colonies. Thus we are enlight­ ened to a curious fact in our early history by these two distinguishing terms and collectors areassisted in cataloging the paper money of the colonial era., i.e., a Pennsylvania issue originally dated January 17, 1723, will be catalog listed as January 17, 1723 (4) to show the year under both the "Old Style Year" and the "New Style Year". By the way... if you are a collector of paper money, you are know as a "sy- ngraphist"...is less soph­ isticated terms paper money collectors are ref­ erred to as "ragpickers".
