We invite CMCH members to join us for a brown bag talk exploring the beginnings of paper money in the American Colonies. Jim Rosen, Immediate Past President of the Colonial Coin Collectors Club, will focus his talk on the Colony of Connecticut, which began its paper money in 1709, and traces the development of this currency through the American Revolution to 1780.
We will provide coffee and dessert, feel free to bring your brown bag lunch to enjoy during the talk.
