•  Hesse-Kassel thaler

  The Thaler was the currency of the Landgravate, then Electorate of Hesse-Kassel (or Hesse-Cassel) until 1858. Until 1807, the Thaler was subdivided into 32 Albus, each of 12 Heller. It was worth three quarters of a Conventionsthaler. Between 1807 and 1813, the Westphalian Thaler and Westphalian Frank circulated in Hesse-Kassel. The Thaler and Heller were reintroduced in 1813, but without the Albus (the last coins denominated in Albus were issued in 1782). Thus, 384 Heller = 1 Thaler.

•  U.S. state

  A U.S. state is any one of 50 sovereign federated states of the United States of America that share sovereignty with the federal government. Four states use the official title of commonwealth rather than state. Because of this shared sovereignty, an American is a citizen both of the federal entity and of his or her state of domicile. State citizenship is flexible and no government approval is required to move between states (with the exception of convicts on parole).
