13 What is money? What makes it valuable? Gold and silver? Ted Talks- What Gives Money Its Value? National bank: The wars (Revolutionary and 1812) left the United States in debt. Some states were bankrupt. We needed one unified currency... Alexander Hamilton suggested a central bank. The Bank of the United States would be this central bank. The Second Bank of the United States was also a commercial bank involved in making loans. Other banks resented the competition from this Federally supported institution. Should a national bank be created?
