A 20-franc Napoléon d’Or from 1803, when Napoleon was First Consul. Source: National Numismatic Collection, National Museum of American History What currency was used in France, the United States, and Britain in the early 19th century? What were the historical exchange rates? How much did things cost? Since Napoleon in America occasionally mentions financial transactions, these were questions I had to look into when writing the novel. For details on what I found out, see “Currency, Exchange Rates & Costs in the 19th Century.” -- source link
