Confederate Currency, The State of North Carolina, Twenty-Five Cents, 1863
01
Artifact Overview
Confederate currency during the Civil War was anything but uniform -- it had various designs, numerous issuers, and was redeemable for payment in different ways. The Confederate Treasury printed bank notes. And individual states and cities issued their own paper currency, too. This decentralized Confederate monetary system reflected Southern values -- Southerners prized states' rights over a strong central government.
