Considerable use is also made by Esperantists of the International
Auxiliary Money-unit (_Internacia Helpa Mono_) introduced by M. René de
Saussure, of the Internacia Scienca Asocio, Geneva. The unit is the
_Speso_, equivalent to one-tenth of a farthing in English money.
10 _spesoj_ (abbr. 10 _s._) = 1 _spesdeko_ (1 _sd._) = 1/4d.
100 _spesdekoj_ (100 _sd._) = 1 _spesmilo_ (1 _sm._) = 2s. 0d.
1 _sm._ = 100 _sd._ = 1,000 _s._
The approximate values of 10 _spesmiloj_ in terms of the various
national units are as follows: 10 _spesmiloj_ = 25 francs = 20 shillings
= 20 marks = 5 dollars = 24 Austrian kroner = 18 Scandinavian kroner =
12 Dutch florins = 9-1/2 roubles = 4-1/2 Portuguese milreis = 9
Brazilian milreis = 5 pesetas = 9-3/4 yen.
The chief point to remember is that 1 _spesmilo_ equals 2 shillings, and
1 _spesdeko_ equals approximately 1 farthing.
