The establishment of the national banking system and the demise of the domestic exchanges.
Prior to the National Currency Act of 1863 and the National Banking Act of 1864, individual state-chartered banks issued their own banknotes denominated in US dollars. These notes were used as a means of payment, and domestic exchange markets existed throughout the US to exchange these banknotes whose prices fluctuated.After 1864, National Banks issued National Bank Notes that were redeemable at par throughout the country. The use of these banknotes served to push the domestic exchange rates of state bank notes and drafts toward their par value. By 1918, the creation of Federal Reserve Notes established par clearance throughout the country. Available on YouTube. August 2021. (1 hour)
