SOUTHERN STATES BANKNOTE ALBUM

The Cincinnati & Hamilton County Public Library has posted images of a scrapbook of paper money and bonds, mostly circa 1861-1864. Found via News & Notes from the Society of Paper Money Collectors (Volume IX, Number 28, December 26, 2023). -Editor

Title
Bank notes and shinplasters of the southern states

Date
1837-1864

Description
An album of 155 mounted specimens of paper money and bonds, chiefly 1861-1864, with a few earlier examples. Includes paper money from most of the southern states, as well as southern banks and companies such as County of Augusta, County of Fluvanna, Farmers Savings Bank, Parish of St. Landry, City of Petersburg, Va., and others. Some are mounted over a cut out area so the back can be viewed. Also includes money of the Confederate states, a $1,000 Confederate bond certificate, and three stock certificates from mining companies in the Nevada territory.

Great example of an old-time collection of notes drawn from circulation, plus some uncut sheets. Here are several notes that caught my eye. -Editor

1862 Clinton 10 Cent scrip note

1861 Charlestown, VA 25 cents scrip note
