To Historians All!
 In  "American Building: The Historical Forces That Shaped It" by James
Marston Fitch a line on page 13, reads as follows:
"In 1628 the canny Rensselaers were producing the favorite Dutch yellow
brick on their estates near Albany, N.Y., and selling them to all comers for
fifteen florins a thousand."

My question : How can "fifteen florins" be converted to a 2003 monetary
value?
