The Currency Act or Paper Bills of Credit Act is one of several Acts of the Parliament of Great Britain that regulated paper money issued by the colonies of British America. The Acts sought to protect British merchants and creditors from being paid in depreciated colonial currency. The policy created tension between the colonies and Great Britain and was cited as a grievance by colonists early in the American Revolution. However, the consensus view among modern economic historians and economists is that the debts by colonists to British merchants were not a major cause of the Revolution. In 1995, a random survey of 178 members of the Economic History Association found that 92% of economists and 74% of historians disagreed with the statement, "The debts owed by colonists to British merchant

  • The Currency Act or Paper Bills of Credit Act is one of several Acts of the Parliament of Great Britain that regulated paper money issued by the colonies of British America. The Acts sought to protect British merchants and creditors from being paid in depreciated colonial currency. The policy created tension between the colonies and Great Britain and was cited as a grievance by colonists early in the American Revolution. However, the consensus view among modern economic historians and economists is that the debts by colonists to British merchants were not a major cause of the Revolution. In 1995, a random survey of 178 members of the Economic History Association found that 92% of economists and 74% of historians disagreed with the statement, "The debts owed by colonists to British merchants and other private citizens constituted one of the most powerful causes leading to the Revolution."

  • Le Currency Act ou Paper Bills of Credit Act du 19 avril 1764 est une loi parlementaire anglaise (citation 4 Geo. III c. 34) interdisant aux Treize colonies d'émettre quelque monnaie que ce soit, en particulier de billets de banque. Elle consacre la primauté de la livre sterling. Cette décision, prise quelques jours seulement après le Sugar Act, a soulevé une opposition massive en Amérique du Nord. Les assemblées coloniales protestèrent vivement. Les colonies avaient déjà créé leur propre monnaie fiduciaire, le Colonial Scrip, de valeur très faible à nulle car non soutenue par l'étalon-or. Cette loi n'est pas comptée parmi les Intolerable Acts. Un second Currency Act a été édicté en 1751 dans le but de limiter le volume de monnaie fiduciaire autorisée par les colonies américaines. (fr)
  • 통화 조례(Currency Act)는 영국의회에 의해 1764년 제정된 법으로 식민지에서 자신들의 통화를 만드는 것을 금지하고 세금을 지폐 대신 은화 혹은 정금을 내도록 한 법이다. (ko)
  • Lei da Moeda foi criada pelo parlamento inglês na época da independência dos Estados Unidos da América, em 1764. A lei proibia a emissão de dinheiro por parte da colônia americana. Ainda limitava a alta do preços de produtos agrícolas, o que piorou a situação dos agricultores que vendiam a maior parte de seus produtos para a metrópole inglesa. O Currency Act ou Paper Bills of Credit Act é um dos vários atos do Parlamento da Grã-Bretanha que regulamentou o papel-moeda emitido pelas colônias da América britânica. Os Atos procuraram proteger os mercadores e credores britânicos de serem pagos em moeda colonial depreciada. A política criou tensão entre as colônias e a Grã-Bretanha e foi citada como uma queixa pelos colonos no início da Revolução Americana. No entanto, a visão consensual entre historiadores e economistas econômicos modernos é que as dívidas dos colonos aos britânicos os mercadores não foram uma das principais causas da Revolução. Em 1995, uma pesquisa aleatória de 178 membros da Associação de História Econômica descobriu que 92% dos economistas e 74% dos historiadores discordaram da afirmação: "As dívidas dos colonos a comerciantes britânicos e outros cidadãos privados constituíram uma das causas mais poderosas levando à Revolução".
