Did money change form because of new technology, or did changes in marketplace demand new forms of money? In England, the Crown and investors considered the colonies to be a necessary evil, but a prosperous one, as they made money off of the colonists. Trade was for the benefit of the home country. Colonial mints were banned, money was coin only and most was shipped back to England for payment of taxes. As the colonies developed, trade changed, and there were many political debates about acceptable forms of money. Paper money was not a foregone conclusion, but developed in the colonies despite the objections of the Crown and Parliament. Learn about how the American Colonies and a new country changed currency for America, England, and the world.
