Answer 1

The Continental dollar was a problem for. soldiers and merchants after the American Revolution because "It had become worthless"

For example, this quote states that "Continentals refers to paper currency issued by the Continental Congress in 1775 to help fund the American Revolutionary War. Continentals quickly lost value, partly because they were not backed by a physical asset like gold or silver, but also due to the fact that too many bills were printed."
