During
the Civil War, the Confederacy issued an abundance of paper money,
including treasury bonds and certificates payable "two years after
the ratification of the treaty of peace between the Confederate States
and the United States of America."
In addition, the government allowed each state to print its own money,
such as the five-cent note from Virginia and the North Carolina twenty-five
cent note. Essentially, all Confederate money became worthless. |
