Paper Money of Colonial America - DISCONTINUED

Faced with a shortage of British coins, early American colonists had to rely on barter, currencies like wampum or tobacco, and foreign coins for their money supply. By 1755, the 13 colonies were issuing their own paper currencies. This currency used British denominations of pounds, shilling, and pence; if a "dollar" was referred to, it meant the Spanish Milled Dollar coin.
