Howard prints money on the anniversary of the creation of the U.S. Monetary System (August 8, 1786)
If you needed an excuse to do some spending today, here you go. August 8th is National Dollar Day!
On this day, August 8th, in 1786, the United States Monetary System was established by Congress. For today, Howard discusses if we can print money in our shop while letterpress printing three dollar symbols. The dollars are 8 line pica in size and wood type that was made about 125 years ago. This was printed with Pantone 209 oil base ink using our Washington hand press.
