This, however, was not appropriate for a nation as a legitimate country. To solve the issue, in 1792, the US Congress finally passed the Coinage Act to create a national monetary system, which was signed by George Washington during his first term.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp style=\"text-align: justify;\">The first stage was the introduction of the half disme. As such, President Washington announced that the mint operations had begun, though its actual buildings and machinery were not ready yet. The legends tell that these numismatic creations were made from Washington family silverware, though no historical evidence can be presented to support these assumptions. The coins were born and released in extremely limited quantities, i.e., up to 3,500 pieces in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cblockquote>\u003Cspan style=\"color: rgb(32, 32, 32); background-color: rgb(254, 254, 254); font-style: italic;\">“SEC. 20.
