Confederate currency is deeply related to the American Civil War. Between 1861 and 1865 a total of $1.7 billion was issued by the then Confederate States, there were 72 different types of notes issued in 7 series over this period.
These notes were secured on cotton, which was the main product of the South. Remember the film "Gone With The Wind" that was my first lesson on what the effects of war can be on the people involved, how high inflation can get and how worthless paper money can be in the face of inflation and devaluation.
The Confederate currency was not worth the paper or ink used to print the notes by the end of the war. There was also a serious problem of counterfeiting which just escalated the situation, having said this if you are collecting
confederate currency, a counterfeit from the 19th century is sometimes just as valuable as the originals.
