If you think about it - the term “worthless as a Continental” has only recently fallen out of general use (my dad and gramps used the term from time to time)

So angry and bitter were some folks over the losses sustained to their families from the script “Continental Dollar” used in the early days of this Nation - the term stayed around. The script used by the CSA did not engender the same widespread bitterness, AFAIK.

One wonders when the current (not so green) Greenback finally falls apart how it will be viewed......
