When they first came out they were mixed with shillings, and pence from England and silver coinage from (believe it or not) Paul Revere which didn't set well with the King of England at the time it was minted, so the denomination was set to equivalents of dollars and shillings. Change was made in coins.
Or CONFETTI! (Just Kidding)
Nice reproduction, I like it when they put "copy" in the border rather than ruin the design.
