New Jersey. Treasury Dept.

New Jersey State Treasurer's Office, by law in 1787, was directed to make interest payments on the state-issued certificates (militia indents) given to the officers and soldiers of New Jersey Militia units during the Revolutionary War. The law appointed commissioners for each county to review militia payrolls, determine payments due, and issue payment notes (i.e., indents) which were to bear 6% interest annually until the principal was paid.
