I added the paragraph on checks, ex-chequer, shah-mat, etc. Sources on the etymology are the OED and some financial history books which I do not have on me. Used them in a class I taught some years ago. I failed to log in while I made the edit. Sorry about that. The history makes clear that a chess piece or more exactly a chess board would be an appropriate illustration. The best thing would be a painting from the era but I am unaware of any. Basically the London jewelers of the 15th and 16th centuries did double service as lenders and bankers, somewhere there may be a painting of one with a chess board.

I had tried to write an article about the English Exchequer (which became the Exchequer of which the Chancellor of the Exchequer is chancellor). I did this because I wanted to write abou the Exchequer of Pleas. This seemed to displease those who wanted to make clear that there was a Scottish Exchequer. Unfortunately their edits have been misleading and anachronistic. I've tried to put some Scottish material in, but its not my field/area, so perhaps someone else could help.

Why is there a picture of a random chess piece on this page? -- Clay Collier 10:20, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
The Exchequer became unnecessary as a revenue collecting department as a result of Pitt's reforms.
Pitt who?
There is no prior reference to him in the article. Martha Lois 20:43, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
What reforms?
Pitt is probably William_Pitt_the_Younger 1759 – 1806
The office remains, governments always need to collect taxes!
The office of the Chancellor of the Exchequer has continued from 1221 to the present and the name has evolved from the table upon which taxes were collected 'The Exchequer' to an office Her Majesty's Treasury (HM Treasury) colloquially known as 'the Exchequer' — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alan-hicks-london ( talk • contribs) 16:21, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
I did some grammatical restructuring in the first section (see these edits). Although I'm pretty sure I didn't change the meaning of anything, I'd like someone more familiar with the term Exchequer to review. I'm still kinda confused as to the proper use of the term and want to make sure the edits are proper. Thanks! / Blaxthos ( t / c ) 08:46, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
we should include ipa for the word Exchequer — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.220.181.9 ( talk) 23:40, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
The section which should be the introduction only covers the topic in terms of Islamic states (as of the time and date of this posting). As such, it is extremely limited and does not represent a general view of the term. This paragraph may serve best as a section. Mercadoa ( talk) 06:23, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
The chamberlains were abolished in 1826 and the auditors in 1834. The Exchequer itself didn't disappear until the 1860s, no? — LlywelynII 12:01, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
I propose that Exchequer be merged into HM Treasury. The content in the Exchequer article appears to be the origins of HM Treasury. Both articles start during the reign of Henry I, the Exchequer article appears to suggest the department was unnecessary, whereas HM Treasury is still extant.
