/ˈkɝənsi/

From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) :   [ bouvier ]

  CURRENCY. The money which passes, at a fixed value, from hand to hand; money 
  which is authorized by law. 
       2. By art. 1, s. 8, the Constitution of the United States authorizes 
  congress "to coin money, and to regulate the value thereof." Changes in the 
  currency ought not to be made but for the most urgent reason, as they 
  unsettle commerce, both at home and abroad. Suppose Peter contracts to pay 
  Paul one thousand dollars in six months-the dollar of a certain fineness 
  of silver, weighing one hundred and twelve and a half grains-and 
  afterwards, before the money becomes due, the value of the dollar is 
  changed, and it weighs now but fifty-six and a quarter grains; will one 
  thousand of the new dollars pay the old debt? Different opinion may be 
  entertained, but it seems that such payment would be complete; because, 1. 
  The creditor is bound to receive the public currency; and, 2. He is bound to 
  receive it at its legal value. 6 Duverg. n. 174.
