"History likewise shows that sometimes the 'monetary standard of the victors' can prove to be very bad. There have seldom been more brilliant victories than those eventually achieved by the American insurgents under Washington against the English troops. But the American 'continental" dollar did not benefit from them.

The course of events was no different not long afterwards in France. In spite of the victories of the revolutionary army, the metal premium rose."
