This is believed to be the last legislation in Pennsylvania upon this subject.
Some persons, holders of the notes, cherishing the fond hope that the State would ultimately re- deem her obligations at the value expressed on their face, neglected or refused to present them at the Treasury, before the expiration of the time limited for their redemption at the depreciated rates fixed by law; it is principally to this cir- cumstance, that the present generation is in- debted for the many specimens of the financiering schemes of former days.
The Bills of Credit issued by Pennsylvania and the persons appointed to sign them from July 20, 1775 to March 16, 1785, were as follows:
