Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation:

The Currency Act 1764 extended the 1751 Act to all of the British colonies of North America. Unlike the earlier Act, this statute did not prohibit the colonies from issuing paper money, but it did forbid them from designating future currency issues as legal tender for public and private debts. So it was not illegal.
