Colonial Currency.
Colonial Currency or paper money. Every state produced their own currency using paper as actual coins were very scarce throughout the colonies. An issue England refused to correct believing it held colonists at bay or under full Crown control.

1731, Spanish Dollar or Pieces of 8
Front
Back
This was the most common form of currency before 1792. It was still very common after 1792. 1792 is when the United States started printing and distributing our own money. This was the Spanish Dollar produced by Spain. It's often referred to as a pieces of 8. The reason? The coming was often cut to pay tabs at various locations. If something cost 25 cents, you cut the dollar into 4 pieces and handed the merchant one quarter of that dollar. A very common practice. In fact, that is where we get the saying 2 bits from. Shave and a hair cut was 2 bits. Or one eighth times two. If you just got the haircut? One bit, or an eighth of a dollar or 12.5 cents. How much is a haircut now? Interesting history.

Tracing Through A Very Small Section of Shires Museum Financial History Division
Spending part of the day going through a very small part of the Financial History Division, coins section of Shires Museum. Thousands of coins and tens of thousands of paper currency are all part of the vast collection of the Shires Museum Displays. This is all a privately held museum and collection. Dates of coins are from the 17th century through the 20th century. A few earlier dates also exist.

Mid 19th Century Tax Stamps
Throughout the 19th century, there was no such thing as an IRS not an income tax. That was all forbidden by the Constitution. It still is but thanks to propaganda, the majority have been fooled and foolishly pay money they are not required to pay. Tax Stamps were an interesting way of raising money after the Civil War. They were added to products for sale and paid for by the manufacturer. Products were sealed with these tax stamps or required to display them on the products.
