Answer 1

The loss in value of the Continental dollar primarily led to trade becoming complicated because states printed their own currencies. The depreciation of the Continental dollar created a lack of confidence in a single currency, prompting individual states to issue their own money, which resulted in inconsistencies and challenges in trade and economic transactions.
