label: Description
content: Bank notes were another resource to pay for goods and services instead of relying on the dwindling supply of federally coined money. However, if the business that issued the notes failed, then the money was worthless. This five-dollar note soon became obsolete after it was issued since the Central Bank of Pennsylvania stopped operating in 1862.
