In 1776, during the American Revolutionary War, the Continental Congress began issuing paper currency known as the Continental Dollar to fund the war effort. Hall and Sellers, printers based in Philadelphia, were authorized to print these notes, which quickly became depreciated due to overproduction and lack of backing, leading to the phrase "not worth a Continental." This currency was part of a broader effort to establish financial independence from Britain, but its value plummeted, causing significant economic challenges for the new nation.

The Declaration of Independence was signed July 4, 1776 at Independence Hall. We do not normally put "the" before "Independence Hall." You could conceivably put a comma after the year, separating the time and place.
