Obsolete Currency and Confederate Currency

OBSOLETE CURRENCY - Printed from the early 1800’s through 1870’s. This currency was printed by states, banks and private companies during this time period. The currency that was issued by banks is also known as Broken Bank Notes because the majority of these banks eventually failed or went out of business.

Thousands of states, banks and private companies issued their own currency and much of this paper money was only printed on one side to save money on the cost of printing. Much of this currency was printed on very thin paper and many had interesting vignettes and portraits of famous people of that time period. Most of this paper money has been heavily circulated and it is usually numbered, dated and hand signed.

There also exists, paper money that was printed but never issued. This currency is called remainder notes. They are usually brand new or high grade and they are not numbered, dated and signed, but they are collectable because of their historical significance and attractive portraits and vignettes.
