I was wondering that myself, but then I got a copy of an Ontario land title abstract. The last entry in pounds was Dec. 1st, 1858 (a sale to my gg-grandfather, as it happens), and the first entry in dollars was Dec. 21st, 1858. Don't know if that was universal, but that's how it was in Essex Co., Ontario. - Jennifer Smith
