I t is generally accepted that the first true bank in the American Colonies struggled into existence in 1740 in Boston. Mass. A prominent Boston mer chant and shipowner. John Colman, struggled for more than 30 years before he was given permission by the Massachusetts government to establish a private "land bank." and they began issuing "manufactuory bills" as a form of currency in denominations of three pence to 20 shillings (the Colonies, of course used English money). There was a considerable amount of opposition to banks in the colonies, not only in the English Parliament, but also from colonial governors, legislatures and from seg ments of the business and commercial communities. There always had been a scarcity of "hard money" in the colonies, and much of the trade, business and industry was conducted on a barter system. In Virginia, for example, any landow ner could pay his taxes in tobacco. • But, the Revolution and the need to supply the Con­ tinental armies required a different sort of financing and credit, and in 1780 the Bank of Philadelphia was founded by a group of patriots to help finance the war against the Brit ish.
