Gresham’s Law and Early Banknote Circulation in Boston
The document explains Gresham’s Law where poorer money drives out better money, citing Queen Elizabeth’s coiner and silver shillings later melted by silversmiths. It also notes the Wisconsin Marine and Fire Insurance Company’s charter barred banking yet enabled deposits and loans, and its deposit certificates circulated widely as representative money.
