Throughout US history, six types of currency include the Continental Currency, which was issued during the Revolutionary War; Gold and Silver Certificates, which represented precious metals; the Greenback, a Fiat currency used during the Civil War; National Bank Notes, issued by national banks in the 19th century; Federal Reserve Notes, introduced in 1914 and still in use today; and the coinage of various denominations like the penny, nickel, dime, quarter, and dollar coins. Each type reflects different economic conditions and monetary policies of its time.
