15 sett 1764 anni - Currency Act

Descrizione:

The Currency Act was also passed in 1764. It tried to take more control of the colonial economy. Before the act, different colonies had made their own paper money. The Currency Act said that only British currency, or money, could be used in the colonies. As colonists threw out their colonial paper money, they realized there was not enough British money to replace it. This shortage caused problems in the colonial economy.
