Of the Exchanges of Placentia, a place of Faires or Fiera of Exchanges in Italie.
THis Towne is considered, as a Faire or Staple of Exchanges, and not as a Citie of Traffique; and therefore there is no esteeme made of the current * 1.1 Money of the place, but onely of that which is made by Exchanging, which are Crownes of Marke; in which Moneys, Bankers and Exchangers doe onely treat and account in; and the same is held by Crownes, Sold. and Deniers of Marke. And in the custome of Exchanges here in use, it giveth the entire and whole summe to all other places, being either Crownes One, or Crownes one hundred.
