The Continental dollar was issued in 1776 by the Continental Congress. It was made of pewter, and was roughly the size of a modern silver dollar. The Continental dollar was worth $1, and was used to finance the American Revolution. However, the Continental dollar quickly lost its value, and by 1781, it was worth only $0.01. The Continental dollar was replaced by the United States dollar in 1792.
Today, the Continental dollar is a rare and valuable coin. The value of a Continental dollar depends on its condition, rarity, and the buyer's willingness to pay. In general, a Continental dollar in good condition can sell for anywhere from $100 to $1000. However, some Continental dollars have sold for much higher prices. In 2013, a Continental dollar sold for $1.3 million at auction.
