Even before they declared themselves free and independent states, American colonies issued New York Dollars and Pennsylvania Shillings, then later Continental Dollars--all so largely un-supported by metallic standards that soon any worthless object came to be known as "Not worth a Continental."

Date & Place: [between 1940 and 1946]
