1776 is a gap in my collection - I didn't have anything to post in the "How Far Back Can We Go?" thread for that date. I have two George III British coins dated 1775 - a farthing and a halfpenny.

We were issuing money in 1776. It just wasn't coinage...  |

July 4, 1776 had really nothing to do with government formation, just a declaration of independence from England. Government wasn't truly official until all colonies ratified the Constitution which was in 1790. Are they not teaching history lessons in 4th grade anymore -- well the media doesn't help does it? Anyway, all coins/currency from the 1700's are cool.

Upon declaration of independance,The United States of America was born. The form of goverment was accepted later.. Still our countries birthdate is 7-4-1776.. If it wasnt suck a historical point in time I highly doubt we would have a national holiday.. Independence Day!!

I have a 1782MO FF Mexico 8-Reale from the El Cazador shipwreck, but I don't think that had a chance to circulate in America...or anywhere.
