Currency act
Parliament passed the Currency Act of 1764 to take control of the colonial currency system. It banned the printing of any new currency and forbid the use of the old colonial currency. It also stated that Britain had the power to try any smugglers and would enforce the results of the prosecution to their advantage rather than the colonies', advantage.
In 1764, Parliament passed the Currency Act which made it illegal to use paper money. South Carolina was using paper currency at this time, so the passage of the act made it very difficult to trade in the state.
The colonists reaction to the currency act of 1764 was that they didn't think it was fair to abolish their currencies and impose the pound as the only acceptable form of money. They protested against it.
