Early American currency went through several stages of development during the colonial and post-Revolutionary history of the United States. During the American Revolution, the Colonies became independent states. No longer subject to arbitrarily imposed monetary regulations by the British Parliament, the States began to issue paper money, to pay for military expenses.
This one dollar banknote was issued by the state of New Hampshire and is dated 29 April 1780; it is part of the National Numismatic Collection at the Smithsonian Institution.
