由於殖民地與許多海外地區的大量貿易,所有歐洲的重要商業國及其在西半球的附屬國的金銀鑄幣在北美東海岸都可以自由交易。由於法律不允許英國貨幣從英國流向殖民地,相比之下,西班牙貨幣顯得更加重要。這些貨幣在墨西哥城幾利馬鑄造,再流入西班牙殖民地。西班牙幣在殖民地被普遍使用,以至這種貨幣最終成為美國的貨幣單位。雖然早在1652 年馬薩諸塞首先鑄造低含金量的硬幣,但殖民地最後轉而用紙幣來提高短缺且不可靠的貨幣供給。著名人士的期票與簽發給英國商人的匯票在幾個月內就能順利轉手。此外,各殖民地的財政部門開始在稅收前簽發期票,同時向城鎮官員下達書面命令,要求當地店鋪履行付款義務,如其他可轉讓的單據壹樣,這些票據經簽註後可作為貨幣進行交換。
