The Story of America's Currency from Colonial Times to the Digital Age

"Most people don’t realize that it’s banks initially, from the start of our country, all the way through the depression, and then the government will get back involved a little bit later during the Civil War, but initially, it’s the banks that are issuing the currency," says Museum of American Finance President and CEO David Cowen. In this VISION by Protiviti interview, Cowen walks through a brief history of money in the United States – long before there was a U.S. dollar – from the museum’s historical collections, which were instrumental while Lin-Manuel Miranda was writing the Broadway musical “Hamilton.”
