Currency: The NH dollar is worth about as much as the British Pound Sterling. Each denomination has a different person, color, and size. The larger the denomination, the larger the bill is. The current bills were established in 1988. Coins get bigger as the denomination grows larger, and are colered differently. In the front they simply have the number (in Serif Gothic font), surrounded by the wording "The Free Land of New Hillsborough" (in Optima font). On the back they have the NH flag. The current coins were established in 1977.
