British Revolutionary War Coin
What an impressive addition to your collection of US History, this set of British Revolutionary Colonial Era Paper currency. Set consists of a $1 colonial coin, and a twenty dollar bill. Printed on heavy antiqued parchment paper, this currency looks and feels just the original currency used during the British Revolution. The $1 coin feels very heavy and authentic. Before the Revolutionary War, hand currency (coin) was very rare. Most people used Spanish milled dollars and cut them into eights (hence, pieces of eight). This example of a colonial coin would represent a rare currency for the period. The twenty dollar bill was printed in the masses during the war, driving down the value of the currency and the bank note itself. This set of British Revolutionary Colonial era currency not only illustrates the history of the United States, it would make a great addition to a collection. Framed, the bank note and coin would look impressive in a study or office; in your home or at work. Use it as a great teaching aide for a grandparent teaching American history to a grandchild.  Purchase the currency set for yourself, for a friend or family member who has an appreciation for US History, or for that history buff on your list who is hard2shop4.
