Summary

With the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861, the Confederate States of America began issuing its own legal tender. Over the years, seven different series of currency were issued. Counterfeiting became an enormous problem for the South, as did depreciation and inflation. By the end of the war, the notes were worthless, but within the decade their collectibility was on the rise. Today, some notes can easily garner thousands of dollars. Uniquely designed and hand-signed, the legal tender of the South tells the story of hope and loss. Confederate currency expert Pierre Fricke illustrates the history of the South's money in Confederate Currency. Neither a price guide nor a collector's guide per se, Confederate Currency explains the origins of the various notes issued by the South, putting the money into historical context. Fricke also briefly discusses the dissolution of the Union and examines the collectibility of Confederate Currency.
