Alma 11:4

Now these are the names of the different pieces of their gold, and of their silver, according to their value. And the names are given by the Nephites; for they did not reckon after the manner of the Jews which were at Jerusalem; neither did they measure after the manner of the Jews, but they altered their reckoning and their measure, according to the minds and the circumstances of the people, in every generation, until the reign of the Judges; they having been established by king Mosiah.

These are the names of their different pieces of gold and silver and what they were worth. The Nephites gave them these names. They did not count money the way the Jews in Jerusalem did. They did not measure things like the Jews did. They changed their counting and measuring based on what the people needed in each time period. They did this until the judges started ruling. King Mosiah had set this up.

Here are the names and values of their gold and silver coins. These were Nephite names—they didn’t use the system from Jerusalem, nor did they measure things the way the Jews did. Instead, they adapted their system to fit their own needs and circumstances. That continued through each generation until the reign of the judges, which King Mosiah had established.
