Remembering History: While George III had prevented the colonies from printing their own money, Congress could now disregard the Currency Act of 1764. Three weeks after the Declaration of Independence was signed, "The United Colonies" issued the country's first dollars. The Three Dollar Bill, issued on July 22, 1776, has an interesting emblem: An eagle fighting a heron with the motto "Exitus in dubio est" (the outcome is in doubt).
