No longer subject to monetary regulations arbitrarily imposed by the British Parliament, the States began to issue paper money to pay for military expenses. The Continental Congress also issued paper money during the Revolution — known as Continental currency — to fund the war effort. To meet the monetary demands of the war, State and Continental governments printed large amounts of currency, leading to rapid depreciation. By the end of the war, these paper notes became effectively worthless. Additionally, British counterfeiting gangs contributed further to the decreased value.

The Hillsborough Bank was founded on June 18, 1806, and capitalized with 50,000 dollars. The notes were printed using Jacob Perkins’s “Permanent Stereotype Steel Plate” that prevented forgery. The bank only lasted three years, as it extended its currency beyond its reserves, and the Embargo Act of 1807 stymied New England’s trade. When note holders came to collect their specie, the bank could not fulfill its obligations and was forced to shut down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom 1790 to 1863, states and private banks issued their own currency to supply capital in a young nation without a national currency. This currency was backed by the hard money the banks had on deposit, and was only used locally where the bank and its operators were trusted in the community. However, banks often oversupplied notes, and this overextension caused bankruptcy among private and state banks when financial panic struck, particularly in 1837.

In late 1861, to help finance the Civil War, the U.S. government borrowed gold coin from New York City banks in exchange for Seven-thirties treasury notes and the New York banks sold them to the public for gold to repay the loan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn December 1861, the Trent Affair shook public confidence with the threat of war on a second front. The United States Department of the Treasury suspended specie payments and banks in New York City stopped redeeming paper money for gold and silver. In the absence of gold and silver coin, the premium for specie began to devalue paper currency. After the New York banks suspended specie payments (quickly followed by Boston and Philadelphia) the premium on gold rose from 1–3% over paper in early January 1862 to 9% over paper in June 1862, by which time one paper dollar was worth 91.69 cents in gold. This fueled currency speculation and created significant disruption across businesses and trade. Alternate methods of providing small change included the reintroduction of Spanish quarter dollars in Philadelphia, cutting dollar bills in quarters or halves, refusing to provide change (without charging a premium for providing silver coins), or the issuance of locally issued shinplasters (i.e., those issued by businesses or local municipalities), which was forbidden by law in many states.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTreasurer of the United States Francis E. Spinner has been credited with finding the solution to the shortage of coinage: he created postage currency (which led into the use of fractional currency). Postage (or postal) currency was the first of five issues of US Post Office fractional paper money printed in 5-cent, 10-cent, 25-cent, and 50-cent denominations and issued from 21 August 1862 through 27 May 1863. Spinner proposed using postage stamps, affixed to Treasury paper, with his signature on the bottom. Based on this initiative, Congress supported a temporary solution involving fractional currency and on 17 July 1862 President Lincoln signed the Postage Currency Bill into law. The intent, however, was not that stamps should be a circulating currency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFifth Issue 50 Cent Fractional Note 1875 - Worn Condition - 5th Issue Fifty Cent Note Fractional Note Fr1381, Authentic\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Treasure Hunter Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46943091491113,"sku":"Fr.1381-G\/VG","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/1540\/3049\/products\/il_fullxfull.5360622153_hma7.jpg?v=1696878805"},{"product_id":"1864-confederate-states-of-america-20-70582","title":"1864 Confederate States of America 20 Dollar Bill - Civil War Issue - Choice of Grade - 1864 Confederate CSA Twenty Dollar Note - T-67\/CS-67","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for the photographed 1864 Confederate States of America 20 Dollar banknote.
