The maturest deliberation : colonial Pennsylvania currency in depression and war

The purpose of this study is to review Pennsylvania's
use of paper money through two distinct periods: the first
seven years of currency issues starting in 1723 and
concluding in 1730, and the second period encompassed by
the French and Indian War in 1755-63. They represent two
significant periods affecting Pennsylvania's paper money
prior to the Revolutionary War. Specifically investigated
are the deciding factors influencing Pennsylvania's
currency issues during those periods and the degree of
success achieved by those issues. The relationship between
Pennsylvania's monetary policy and provincial politics is
an important feature of the analysis. / Graduation date: 1996
