Historical Note

INTRODUCTION

At the end of the seventeenth century, the Massachusetts Bay Colony was the first government of the western world to issue paper currency. It is not surprising that this financial innovation should have taken place on the fringes of world commerce and not in one of the major European financial centers. Necessity is said to be the “Mother of Invention” and the short supply of metallic currency in the New World made some alternative medium of exchange essential. In 1690, Massachusetts issued paper bills of credit to pay for King William’s War. By 1692, these bills were declared legal tender and circulated as a substitute for coin for twenty years. The other British colonies were quick to see the value of paper currency in an economy that suffered a constant drain of coin to England. Fourteen British colonies issued paper money before the Revolution and Vermont made an emission just before the establishment of the new republic.

With the Declaration of Independence from England and the establishment of a Continental Congress, the first attempts were made to provide a national currency for the American colonies. The first Continental notes were issued May 10, 1775. The bills were backed by a Congressional resolution pledging the faith of all the colonies for the redemption of the bills between 1779 and 1782. The units of issue were Spanish milled dollars, a conscious break from the English monetary system. Since Congress had no power to make its money legal tender, it was forced to rely on the individual colonies to do so. Between 1775 and 1779 the Continental Congress provided eleven emissions of currency with a face value of $241,552,780. By late 1776 the currency was beginning to depreciate and in 1780 when it was worth on 1/40th of face value the Congress made a last and only slightly successful attempt to redeem it and retire it. America’s first national currency enriched the language, if not the treasury. The terms “not worth a Continental” and “shinplaster” came into vogue. The latter term supposedly came from a soldier who used worthless notes to bind a leg wound.

The Continental Congress was not the only government issuing currency during the Revolutionary war period. The states considered themselves freed from the legal restrictions of England and issued a profusion of notes. Many of these were revolutionary in design and wording. Although some early war issues, particularly in New England, were redeemed, most eventually went the way of the Continental dollar.

Series I of this Collection contains paper currency from the colonial eras of all of the original states. Only Florida, which was under British rule from 1763-1783 and Vermont, (the 14th state) which produced a single issue in 1781, are unrepresented. Seventeen pieces of Continental currency are found in the Collection including at least one example of all eleven general emissions except the last, January 14, 1779. The earliest colonial issue contained here is a Maryland 15 shilling note dated October 1, 1748. About six other notes from various colonies are available for the following two decades. During the 1770’s the Collection broadens. Approximately 85 items are included. Colonial and Continental currency is of value not only because of its financial history and rarity, but also because of its interesting design and production. Many of these notes are of curious and original design ranging from nature studies to Revolutionary War themes to early state arms. Most colonies printed dire warnings to counterfeiters on their money--see Delaware (“to Counterfeit is Death”), Maryland, New Jersey, and New York. The governments’ bark was evidently worse than their bite, however. Only half-dozen executions for counterfeiting are recorded for the entire colonial period although the incidence of the crime was high. Other specific attractions which might be mentioned are the Massachusetts notes which have been cancelled with a circular punch, a common treatment of the times; notes which have been repaired and stitched--see them among the North Carolina set; notes printed on one side only--a practice carried to the end of the nineteenth century; Rhode Island notes, which have a red reverse (most notes of the period were only black and white), and Delaware notes bearing Benjamin Franklin’s imprint.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

The Constitution of the United States gave the federal government sole authority to issue money. The states were forbidden to coin money or emit bills of credit. For almost eighty years the national government made very little use of its right to issue paper money. The two United States banks, located in Philadelphia, did issue some notes, but when their charters expired they became local institutions and eventually failed. Examples of the Bank of the United States notes during its private period can be found under “Pennsylvania” in this collection.

The Civil War brought the return of governmentally issued paper money to this country. On July 17, 1861 Congress authorized the printing and circulation of Legal Tender paper worth 60 million dollars. These “Demand Notes” were not backed by gold or silver. In 1862 Legal Tender Notes were issued. Since then United States paper money has been in continual circulation. It is significant that no issue of United States money has ever been recalled or invalidated. Every United States bill is still worth its face value. Of course, many bills are worth much more to the collector than to a bank.

About half a dozen examples of United States currency are to be found in this Collection. These items include an example of the first Demand Notes (1861) known as greenbacks; a $50 legal tender note of 1862; a piece of postal currency; and some fractional paper currency.

PRIVATE ISSUES

Although the individual states could not issue currency they did have the right to charter private banks that could then issue notes. From these private banks came a great flux of paper money that both oiled and clogged the wheels of commerce in pre-Civil War America. In addition to private banks, municipalities, transport companies, insurance companies, stores, et cetera, all issued scrip. The notes of these organizations were payable on demand and were only as strong as the bank or company itself. Thus, if too many notes would be presented at once a bank would simply close its doors and default. One expedient used to make it harder for the note holder to cash his bills was to locate the main office of the bank in an inaccessible place like a forest or swamp. This practice led to the term “wildcat” bank since the wildcat might be the only customer having easy access.

Although a state could not issue money it had another alternative besides chartering private banks. Kentucky set up the Bank of the Commonwealth of Kentucky whose entire stock belonged to the state. Its notes, of course, were not legal tender and no one was required to accept them under federal law, but Kentucky used the wildcat technique to get around this difficulty. This Collection contains many examples of notes issued by the Bank of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Many of these came to the University Library through the Durrett Collection.

All the privately issued notes and those of local agencies are to be found in the last section of Series I of this Collection. They are organized alphabetically by state, town, or city, and finally by issuing agency. One hundred and thirty-eight different private issues are to be found in this Collection representing some twenty states. Most of the bills are from the 1850’s and `60’s although some of the Kentucky notes go back to 1816. After the re-introduction of federal currency during the Civil War the production of private issues ceased.

Included in this section are many notes issued by private agencies within the southern states during the time that they were members of the Confederacy. Technically these issues should be considered Confederate and not United States currency, however, for reasons of expediency and organization, they have been included in Series I of this Collection.

MISCELLANEOUS

Four folders of items resembling money have been included in this Collection. These are receipts, merchandising coupons, advertisements made to look like money, stock certificates, and promissory notes.

CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA

The Confederate States of America spewed forth an ever-increasing amount of paper currency which eventually engulfed the economy of the South and drowned it. The Confederate Constitution, unlike that of the United States, did not limit the right to issue paper currency to the central government. Thus a mass of different governments and private agencies contributed to the paper confusion of the Southern economy. States, municipalities, banks, railroads, and businesses all competed with the Confederate government in the issuance of currency. Also no coins were minted in the South so paper money, including fractional currency, was needed to meet the demands of all financial transactions.

The Confederacy began issuing paper money immediately after secession from the Union. Its financial policy considered paper money not only as a medium of exchange, but as a means of war finance. Confederate notes were not legal tender and payable on demand. In fact, early in 1861 the government hit on the expedient of issuing notes which would be payable “six months after the ratification of a Treaty of Peace between the Confederate States and the United States.” This had the effect of tying the value of paper currency very closely to the military situation. At first the money was reasonably strong, but as the war continued and the outlook for the South became bleak, paper money lost its value and tremendous inflation began. Peace with the North was never ratified; the bills never fell due; and by 1865 Confederate currency was totally worthless. It was the worst case of inflation in American history.

As paper money became more and more inflated the Confederacy printed greater quantities of bills, flooding the South with currency. Printing, which was of rather high quality at the beginning of the war deteriorated and the color, clarity, and paper declined also. The very first Confederate notes were actually engraved in New York by the National Bank Note Co. With the outbreak of hostilities, however, the business was transferred south and private firms began production of Confederate currency since there was no government printing office. The usual technique was lithography.

After Appomattox, Confederate currency became, in the words of one poet: “Representing nothing on God’s earth now, And naught in the waters below it; As the pledge of a nation that passed away, Keep it dear friend, and show it. . .”

Many people threw it out or burned it, but others did keep some in attics and drawers. Trainloads of currency were captured by the Union Army and sent to Washington where it was put in storage. By the late nineteenth century the first part of this rhyme was no longer true as Confederate currency again became valuable when collectors began to gather the notes. Now its value is based not on denomination but on rarity.

The last lines of the above verse remain valid because Confederate currency has become a graphic illustration of American history. This aspect of Confederate currency was discerned in the early twentieth century by the Treasury department, which cleaned out its store rooms and sent packets of money to educational institutions all over the country for use in history teaching. Some of the currency in this Collection came from that source. A glance through the bills in Series II of this Collection is a brief trip through the history of the Confederacy. Statesmen and heroes appear on the bills beginning with national figures like Calhoun and Washington and Jackson and moving on to Southern statesmen like Jefferson Davis, Alexander Stephens, and J.P. Benjamin. Even a Southern lady, Lucy Pickens is found on a few issues. Another favorite theme of Confederate currency was war -- artillery and naval and battle scenes are found. The cornerstones of Southern life--cotton and slavery appear also. Other common subjects are industry, transportation, mythology, and public edifices. The character of the Old South and the short-levied Confederacy come alive through its money.

Counterfeiting was rampant during the Civil War in the South. The multiplicity of bills, issuing agencies and signers made it extremely easy to pass bogus currency. The poor quality of the printing and paper by the end of the war also made it easier to produce acceptable fakes. The North contributed to the confusion by making copies of Confederate currency, many of which found their way south. Samuel C. Upham in Philadelphia printed the most famous of these bills. He made copies of more than 3,000 varieties of Confederate bills as souvenirs and sold them for about 1$ each regardless of denomination. Although these bills were marked “Fac-simile” in large letters across their face they circulated in the South as real money. Perhaps the markings were so large that they were not immediately noticed. Examples of Upham’s work and other types of reproduced currency can be found among the money in this Collection. Their detection, however, is left to the expert and unless obviously bogus, even to the untrained eye, all bills have been treated as genuine.

Crover C. Criswell lists seventy-two types of Confederate notes with an immense number of sub-varieties and permutations. This Collection contains examples of 52 major types and a large number of sub-types, series, and variations to give a total of one hundred and forty three different bills and, including duplicates, 293 individual pieces.

The Confederate government also issued bonds to finance the War. Seven of these will be found in Series II of this Collection.

STATES OF THE CONFEDERACY

All eleven states of the Confederacy issued their own money since this was not prohibited under the Constitution. In addition many local government units also issued paper currency (note: see Series I). The states made their bills legal tender even though this was prohibited by the Constitution. This status could only be enforced within the jurisdiction of the issuing government so no state’s currency circulated outside of its borders. This led to a proliferation of currencies and added to the monetary confusion of the South.

The type of currency differed from place to place. Most states issued “treasury notes” but Texas and Arkansas used treasury warrants, either military or civil and Missouri issued “defense bonds.” In printing, design, and quality the notes greatly resemble the bills of the Confederacy with more emphasis on state officials and local landmarks. This similarity is to be expected since the same printers produced state and national currency.

This Collection contains examples of currency issued by eight of the states of the Confederacy. The states not represented are those whose currency is rare, largely for historical reasons. The states not found in this Collection are South Carolina, Arkansas, and Tennessee. In addition to these eight states, the Collection also contains defense bonds and notes issued by the secessionist government of Missouri. Although the state never officially left the Union, a separatist government in its southern counties issued paper money. These bills are normally classified as Confederate. In all, this Collection contains 49 different pieces of money issued by the states of the Confederacy.

Scope Note

The inventory of materials in this collection is organized in the following manner. Series I, folders 1-21 contain colonial currency. Folders 1-3 hold currency issued by the Continental Congress while folders 4-21 contain notes issued by the individual colonies. Each folder contains material from only one colony and the folders are arranged alphabetically by colony. Within the folders the money is arranged chronologically in a pattern shown at the beginning of the checklist. Folder 22, Series I, is devoted to paper money issued by the United States government. The items are organized according to the design number assigned by Robert Friedberg. (see bibliography). Folders 23-57 contain private issues. The folders are arranged alphabetically by state. Within the folders the notes are arranged alphabetically first by city of issue, then by issuing agency, and finally numerically by denomination. Folder 58 contains unidentified items; folders 59 & 60 contain miscellaneous reproductions and facsimiles; folder 61 & 62 contain receipts and promissory notes, all from the State of Kentucky; and folders 63 & 64 contain stock certificates.

Series II contains Confederate currency. This money has been collated against the checklist of Grover C. Criswell, Jr., (see bibliography) and is arranged according to his type numbers. Folders 1-38 contain currency of the Confederate States of America (CSA); Folders 39 and 40 contain facsimiles and reproductions of CSA currency; and folders 41-46 contain Confederate bonds. Folders 47-59 contain notes issued by the individual Confederate states. The folders are arranged alphabetically by state and the currency within them follows the Criswell pattern.

Series III is an addendum to the American Currency Collection and contains 64 folders of Confederate States currency and bonds: 44 folders (Box 1) are currency and 20 folders (Box 2) are bonds. All are Richmond, Virginia issues except for 4 copies of bonds issued at Montgomery, Alabama.

This group is arranged by the type number of the checklist by Grover C. Criswell, Jr. as Vol. II is. Represented are Criswell’s 57 major different types of currency--a total of 221 individual notes with 172 subtypes- -and 20 different types of bonds. It adds 74 new sub-types to the collection which Vol. II does not contain (marked with asterisk in the checklist). Two of them do not appear even in the 1964 edition of Criswell’s checklist Folder 1, item C, a $50 note and Folder 44, item A, a 50¢ note with serial letter I.
