Title | Ten-shilling bill of credit, 1785 |
Creator | North Carolina. General Assembly. |
Date | December 29, 1785 |
Description | Ten-shilling bill of credit printed by Thomas Davis in Hillsborough, N.C., in 1785 |
Historical Notes | The 1785 authorization was the last currency to be issued by the State of North Carolina in the eighteenth century. This is a bill from that issue, one that citizens continued to use despite its torn, crumpled condition. The original straight pin that someone used to attach the bill's remaining parts to a piece of paper remains in place. On the backing paper's reverse, the handwritten note "David Earnesto To Houghs & [Tim]ley" testifies that this battered piece of money was indeed accepted in a transaction. |
