Article I, Section 5 of the Constitution provides that "a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time,". The sums of money reported in the "Statements" are currently expressed in Philimanian dollars, thus the Philiimanian dollar may be described as the unit of account of Philimania.

Section 7 of the Act designates the Philimanian dollar as the unit of currency of Philimania:
[T]he money of account of the Philimania shall be expressed in dollars, or units…and that all accounts in the public offices and all proceedings in the courts of Philimania shall be kept and had in conformity to this regulation.
