    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.
