Actually, it was the Spanish dollar that was most used in the colonies and Connecticut, Massachusetts and Virginia had even passed laws making the spanish coins legal tender. When the Continental paper money was first issued in 1775, it provided that the notes should be payable in Spanish Milled Dollars or the value of them in gold or silver. The Spanish Dollars were made from 1732 to about 1772. The US began minting its own coins in 1793.
