Pennsylvania Colony made its own paper money to account for the shortage of actual gold and silver. The paper money was called Colonial_Scrip. The Colony issued "bills of credit", which were as good as gold or silver coins because of their legal tender status. Since they were issued by the government and not a banking institution, it was an interest-free proposition
