For many years before the Revolution, paper money or "Bills of Credit" had been circulating the American colonies. Most were issued to pay for military emergencies or to pay for public works. At the beginning of the American Revolution, each State issued its own paper money to cover military and government expenses. These issues were separate from those authorized by the Continental Congress, and numbered over 100 from 1775 to 1781.

This collection includes a reproduction from each of the 13 original states dating from 1773 to 1780. Packaged in a plastic bag with card detailing the denominations of each state currency.
