Delaware: |
 |
|
Climate: |
Since
almost all of Delaware is a part of the Atlantic Coastal
Plain, the effects of the ocean moderate its climate.
The state is in a transitional zone between a humid
subtropical climate and a continental climate. |
|
Language: |
As of
2000, 90.5% of Delaware residents age 5 and older speak
only English at home; 4.7% speak Spanish. French is the
third most spoken language at 0.7%, followed by Chinese
at 0.5% and German at 0.5%. |
| Currency: |
The pound was the currency of Delaware
until 1793. Initially, the British pound and foreign
coins circulated. This was supplemented from 1723 by
local paper money. Although this was denominated in
pounds, shillings and pence, the notes were worth less
than sterling, with 1 Delaware shilling = 9 pence
sterling. |
