Today in 1620: Plymouth Colony settlers sign Mayflower Compact. 32 years later, as commercial activity grew, they were minting money. Gold and silver were in short supply in England, so the Boston authorities allowed two settlers to set up a mint.
What was the Mayflower Compact? Some background from Plimoth Plantation, a Smithsonian affiliate museum: "The 1620 agreement (first called the 'Mayflower Compact' in 1793) was a legal instrument that bound the Pilgrims together when they arrived in New England. The core members of the Pilgrims' immigrant group were Separatists, members of a Puritan sect that had split from the Church of England, the only legal church in England at that time. Others in the group, however, had remained part of the Church of England, so not all of the Pilgrims shared the same religion." #numismatics #money
