<p>[QUOTE=&quot;halfcent1793, post: 3447661, member: 86853&quot;]Nice short summary. Fugios are a fascinating series featuring lots of criminal fraud. It seems none of the coinages produced during the Confederation ever worked out.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would add that there is zero evidence that the &quot;Continental dollar&quot; was ever &quot;issued&quot; or that it was produced during the Revolutionary War. Many now believe that they were struck in Europe (though there&#039;s no real evidence for that, either). The earliest known report of their existence was in a German publication dated to late 1783, after the Revolutionary War was over.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
