The most important information taken through the investigation on silver circulation of Africa in the Public Record Office in Surrey (UK) is to find out the monthly movement of the Maria Theresa dollar's price to the Sterling pound in Addis Ababa before the Italian invasion against Ethiopia. The correlation efficient between the price of the Maria Theresa dollar in Addis Ababa and the price of silver in London reveals us some interesting results. The period when the positive coefficient was high is coincide with the period the coffee export trade was favorite for Ethiopia, and the period in low coefficient is the period of stagnant trade.This result hints that the export of a native product drove the price system in the local market to synchronize with the international market through the bridge by the Maria Theresa dollar. But it also suggests that the bridge was down when the international market changed the situation for the product.This statistical analysis brings more implication on the role of foreign currencies from the nineteenth century to early twentieth century over the world. In this stage the relationship between the international price system and native price ones swung between tightness and looseness according to circumstances. That is why currencies of foreign origins were convenient for both parties to use as temporal connectors. Thus it is reasonable that the Maria Theresa dollar in Africa and the Japanese silver dollar, both were not in circulation in issuing countries of early twentieth century, share the appearance of a loop style circuit connecting many local markets.

在萨里（英国）的公共记录办公室通过对非洲银流通的调查获得的最重要的信息是找出意大利入侵埃塞俄比亚之前阿迪斯的玛丽亚·特蕾莎美元对英镑的价格的每月变动。阿迪斯的玛丽亚特蕾莎美元价格与伦敦的银价格之间的有效相关性向我们揭示了一些有趣的结果。正系数高的时期正好是埃塞俄比亚咖啡出口贸易最活跃的时期，而正系数低的时期则是贸易停滞的时期，这一结果暗示了当地产品的出口通过玛丽亚·特蕾莎美元这一桥梁推动了当地市场的价格体系与国际市场同步。但这也表明，当国际市场改变了这种产品的状况时，这座桥就断了。这种统计分析对19世纪至20世纪初世界各国外汇的作用有更多的启示。在这一阶段，国际价格体系与国内价格体系的关系根据情况在紧与松之间摇摆。这就是为什么外国起源的货币方便双方使用作为时间连接器。因此，非洲的玛丽亚·特蕾莎银元和日本的银在世纪早期都没有在发行国流通，它们都有一个连接许多当地市场的环形电路的外观，这是合理的。
