In 1773, people primarily used British pounds, shillings, and pence as currency in the American colonies, as they were still under British rule. In addition to coins, which were often made of silver or gold, colonists also used paper money and commodities like tobacco or wheat for trade. However, the use of currency varied regionally, and some areas relied more heavily on barter systems. The Continental Congress later introduced the Continental Currency during the American Revolution in the 1770s.
