Default Samples Of Colonial Continental Currency

While at law school outside Valley Forge I purchased the notes issued during our revolution, Continental currency paid the troops, our Continental Army. At the time the Spanish milled dollar was the only hard currency. An actual leaf was inprinted during the printing process to prevent counterfeiters and in fact is printed "To Counterfeit Is Death" Happy 4th to all of you and your loved ones! ~~Eric
