Comments

(en) Issued by the Continental Congress of The United Colonies.

Printed by Hall and Sellers.

The Continental Congress issued paper money to finance the Revolutionary War against Great Britain. In contrast to the previous editions of the North American colonies, the Spanish Milled Dollar and not the British Pound Sterling was used as the currency unit. The continental notes were forged on a large scale, including as a means of waging war by the British. As a result, the value of the bills fell, a process that could no longer be stopped. Eventually the bills were completely worthless and withdrawn from circulation. Even today in the United States of America there is the catchphrase for a worthless cause: "Not worth a Continental." (It's not even worth a Continental currency note)
