| Title | Four-pence bill of credit, 1761 |
| Creator | North Carolina. Colonial Assembly. |
| Date | April 23, 1761 |
| Description | Four-pence bill of credit or "groat" issued at New Bern, North Carolina in 1761. |
| Historical Notes | This is another example of a very tattered bill that some colonist tried to reinforce with paper and haphazard stitching. The tacking threads are barely visible on this specimen’s face, but they are quite evident on its backside. |
