Description

With the outbreak of the U. S. Civil War in 1861, the Confederate States of The usa started issuing its own paper money. Over time, seven different series of currency were issued. Counterfeiting turned into a significant problem for the South, as did depreciation and inflation. By the end of the war, the notes were worthless, but throughout the decade their collectability was once on the upward thrust. These days, some notes can easily garner thousands of dollars. Uniquely designed and hand-signed, the paper money of the South tells the story of the brand new nation. Confederate currency expert Pierre Fricke illustrates the history of the South’s money and explains the origins of the quite a lot of notes issued by the South, putting the money into historical context. Fricke also briefly discusses the dissolution of the Union and examines the collectability of Confederate currency.
