Question

True or false, Currency Act made the colonists paper money illegal

Answer 1

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The British did not like the fact that the colonist were using their own money instead of their money.

Answer 2

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.
