Note on weights and measures from Michael Bennett: "The symbol is 'lb' for lbs of tobacco. There was very little cash circulating in the English colonies during the seventeenth century, including in Barbados. The main cash crop in production was therefore used as a commodity currency in commercial exchanges. In Barbados during the 1630s goods were bought and sold with reference to lbs of tobacco, but by the late 1640s this had changed to sugar in response to changing patterns of plantation production in Barbados."
