Note 15 — PART VI. MISCELLANEOUS PAPERS. (continued 2)
Reading edition
The sum actually voted was 50,000,400, but part of it was for exchange of old bills, without saying how much. It is presumed that these exchanges absorbed $25,552,783, because the remainder, 24,447,620, with all the other emissions preceding Sept. 2, 1779, will amount to 159,918,800, the sum which Congress declared to be then in circulation.
