The New World’s First Authorized Paper Money
The Thirteen Colonies had no choice but to fund their armed resistance to the British by issuing large amounts of paper money called Continental Currency. This early American paper money has the distinction of being the first authorized paper money issued by any government in the Western World. It actually had little or no real backing because Congress had no source of revenue—which is where the phrase “Not worth a Continental” came from during this era.
