The First Bank of the United States was needed because the government had a debt from the Revolutionary War, and each state had a different form of currency. It was built while Philadelphia was still the nation's capital. Alexander Hamilton conceived of the bank to handle the colossal war debt â and to create a standard form of currency. Up to the time of the bank's charter, coins and bills issued by state banks served as the currency of the young country.
