	S.E. Harris, The Assignats (Site not responding. Last check: )
		CHAPTER XI THE Assignats were primarily a financial resource : the nominal amounts issued, reduced to the values of 1790 by a table of depreciation, were equivalent to seven years of ordinary revenues of the pre-Revolutionary era.
		Since a large proportion of all of the Assignats at the disposal of the public were hoarded, it is probably nearer to the truth to say that the value of the average Assignat fell.
		No writer on the Assignats has observed that the increase in the value of the Assignats during this period was in the main a fictitious one.

		The ultimate depreciation of that currency and the severity of the legal measures used to prop it up have been roundly criticized, but the magnitude of revenues raised via issues of the assignat during the first six years of the Revolution is impressive indeed, and was a key to the survival of the young republic.
		The measures that the revolutionaries took and some of the considerations raised during the deliberations that preceded taking them, were surprisingly modern, in the sense that they present striking parallels with 20th century events and with monetary theories that have been developed during the 1970s and 1980s.
		They discussed and then adjusted the denomination structure of the assignat: because the first assignats were issued in large denominations, small denomination notes were at first supplied by private banks, until the central government reclaimed a monopoly on that activity.

		The destruction of the Assignat became, therefore, the chief object of finance.
		Robespierre had enforced the law giving the Assignat an exclusive monetary privilege — that is to say, forbidding the use in competition with the Assignat of gold and silver as money.

		And when the assignats and a successor note, the mandat, were finally officially demonetized, they passed a law that embodied a version of a clever dynamic currency reform scheme to adjust pre-existing contracts in the face of a dramatic stabilization of the price level path.
		Continuing the debate, Rewbell attacked Necker, saying that the assignats were not at par because there were not yet enough of them; he insisted that payments for public lands be received in assignats alone; and suggested that the church bells of the kingdom be melted down into small money.
