The Story of American History As Told in its Currency
Money, money, money.
People dream about it, write songs about it, and fight
over it.
Throughout American history, our country struggled
for lack of it--or for having too much.
From Continentals issued to finance the American Revolution,
to Confederate currency backed by
cotton, and today's Federal Reserve notes backed by
faith in the U.S. government, the story of American history is told in
its currency. |
Money hasn't always looked like it does today.
Explore the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco's
American Currency Exhibit online and watch history come alive as you step
back in time to our nation's beginning. Learn how our country's rich history
is closely tied with our currency. |
