 Leslie V. Brock: The Colonial Currency, Prices, and Exchange Rates   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Colonial paper currency, generally called bills of credit, was issued on two bases: on the credit of the colony supported by tax funds, and on loan.
In the case of New England and the Middle colonies, where direct trade between the colonies and Britain was at a minimum, it was necessary for the colonies to have recourse to a roundabout trade to procure the necessary bills of exchange and specie to pay their adverse balances with Britain.
In a colony where a specie standard prevailed and bills of credit were not issued as war finance measures, as was the case in Massachusetts between 1750 and 1775, the price of exchange fluctuated in harmony with that in New York and Pennsylvania, but the fluctuations were not so great.

 The Colonial Currency
The existing colonial price indices based upon the prices of a few commodities bought or sold in foreign commerce are in no way indicative of the general price level.10 The colonial prices of such commodities depend predominantly upon the conditions of supply and demand in foreign markets and on the rate of exchange.
Although the improvement in the price of wheat and of flour was widely attributed to the issues of paper currency, it seems to have resulted entirely from the improvement in the international market, for the index of the sterling exchange rate (1720 100), which had stood at 101.2 in 1723, in 1724 stood at 100.4.
Much of the retail trade of the colonies, particularly in the country and smaller towns, was carried on by what William T. Baxter has called "bookkeeping barter."38 Storekeepers prices their goods in monetary terms, but their customers paid for them in commodities, upon which prices were likewise placed.

 Colonial Taxes in Prince William County
The process evolved through constant tension between the King (through his appointed colonial governors) and the colonists (through their elected House of Burgesses).
The revenues for running the colonial Virginia government came primarily from port duties on ships trading in Virginia, a head tax on all imported passengers, a 2-shilling export fee on all hogsheads of tobacco shipped to England, fees associated with grants of land, fines and forfeitures, a land tax, and a poll tax on "titheables."
The Library of Virginia, as part of its excellent discussion list on Virginia History, has posted some explanatory VA-Notes - including one explaining the definition of a titheable who was taxed in the colonial era.
