A distinguishing characteristic of a sovereign nation is the right to issue its own coins.  America began exercising that right in 1792. Prior to 1792, everyday business was conducted using a motley accumulation of tokens, coins, medals and counterfeits issued by private individuals, private mints inside and outside of America, and official mints outside of America. These are known as colonial coins period (1616 - 1796).
