Ko te tono tuatahi mō tētahi pūnaha moni tekauira i roto i te Hononga o Amerika i hanga i te tau 1783 e Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, me David Rittenhouse. I tūtohutia e Hamilton, te Hekeretari tuatahi o te Treasury o te motu, te whakaputa i ngā moni e ono o aua moni i te tau 1791, i roto i tētahi pūrongo ki te Kaunihera. I roto i te ono he moni hiriwa, "e, i roto i te taimaha me te uara, kotahi tekau o te wae hiriwa, o te tāra rānei". Pātai: He aha te mea i tūtohutia e ēnei matua whakatū?
