Early American currency
En efter en begyndte kolonierne at udstede deres egne papirpenge som et praktisk betalingsmiddel. I 1690 skabte Massachusetts Bay-provinsen "de første autoriserede papirpenge, der blev udstedt af en regering i den vestlige verden". Disse papirpenge blev udstedt for at betale for en militær ekspedition under kong Williams krig. Andre kolonier fulgte Massachusetts Bay's eksempel ved at udstede deres egen papirvaluta under efterfølgende militære konflikter.

Early American currency
One by one, colonies began to issue their own paper money to serve as a convenient medium of exchange. In 1690, the Province of Massachusetts Bay created "the first authorized paper money issued by any government in the Western World." This paper money was issued to pay for a military expedition during King William's War. Other colonies followed the example of Massachusetts Bay by issuing their own paper currency in subsequent military conflicts.
