Colonial American experience provides a laboratory for discriminating between these views. It is shown here that the nature of backing, rather than the quantity of money, determined its value. Large secular inflations were ended by changing the nature of backing despite the continuance of large note issues (and despite the absence of a metallic standard). Extremely large note issues and note withdrawals are shown not to have produced inflation (currency depreciation) or deflation (currency appreciation)."^^; "American colonial monetary regimes : the failure of the quantity theory and some evidence in favour of an alternate view"; "1984-09"; "2018-03-13T20:02:19.603625071+00:00"^^; "https://doi.org/10.21034/wp.234"; ; "19850800cje1803"; "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/"; "2020-05-08T20:29:03.139142814+00:00"^^; "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/"; "Research Paper"; "735"; "Working paper (Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis.
