| Title | Twenty-five-dollar bill of credit, 1780 |
| Creator | North Carolina. General Assembly (New Bern, N.C.) |
| Date | May 10, 1780 |
| Description | Twenty-five dollar bill of credit issued in 1780 and printed by James Davis of New Bern. |
| Historical Notes | The May 10, 1780 issue was the last currency authorized by the State of North Carolina during the Revolution. That issue was also the last money ever produced by New Bern printer James Davis. By 1780, due to wartime inflation and the rising prices for goods and services, North Carolinians needed currencies with high face values. Twenty-five dollars is the smallest denomination in this issue; six hundred dollars, the largest. |
