When studying history, it is important to understand the reasoning behind the choices of the men in offices. Congress stopped issuing paper money because of the problem with inflation.
Congress stopped issuing paper money primarily due to concerns about inflation and the instability of the currency. The Continental Congress had issued paper currency during the Revolutionary War, which led to hyperinflation and a loss of public confidence in the money's value. This experience contributed to the decision to adopt a gold and silver standard under the Coinage Act of 1792, establishing a more stable and reliable monetary system.

Before the ratification of the Constitution, each of the 13 colonies printed their own money. As you can imagine, this caused inflation and confusion. In Article I, Section 8, Clause 5, Congress is given the power to coin money. The States are denied this power in Sec. 10, Clause 1. So there became only one form of coin, issued by Congress.
