Abstract:

Certificates printed during the American Revolution functioned to replace hard currency which, for North Carolina, was largely depleted by 1780. The article carefully reviews Colonial and State Records of North Carolina as wells as diaries and minute books from the Moravian Church of Salem to better understand the legislation and distribution of certificates within the state.
