about using this image. Similar to the state of affairs during
the American Revolutionary War, the Confederate states printed
their own currency during the Civil War as well. These bills,
printed in North Carolina in 1863, 1865, and 1870, would
continue to depreciate as the war progressed. Eventually, they
became so worthless that by the late 19th century they were
being given away, which is how George Sheldon, the founder of
Memorial Hall Museum, acquired them. top of page
