DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Historical Sketch of Continental Paper Money Congress appointed twenty-eight citizens of Philadelphia to sign and number the bills: the names of two being necessary to each bill. Each gentleman was allowed, out of the Continental treasury, one dollar and one-third for each and every thousand bills signed and numbered by him. At foot will be found the names of the persons entrusted with this duty. Contracts were made with printers for proper paper, and for printing them. To administer these paper funds, joint treasurers were appointed at a salary of five hundred dollars; and the number of inhabitants of all ages, including negroes and mulattoes, in each Colony, was taken, by approximation of course, in order to levy the ways and means to pay the bills whenever they should be presented at the treasury.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Historical Sketches of the Paper Currency of the American Colonies, Prior to the Adoption of the Federal Constitution: First Series During the last few years, considerable attention has been drawn towards the subject to which this volume is devoted. The various issues of the paper money of the American colonies, and of the Continental Congress, ex tending over a period of nearly a century, had become an attraction to many persons who had entered into the pur suit of collecting them. Naturally they sought, but mostly in vain, for the information which was to explain the origin and history of the notes, and to guide them in their investigations. Some works bearing upon the sub ject were known to be in existence, but were not generally available, while the growing desire of a closer knowledge of their contents, caused continual inquiry and search to be made for them.
