ORIGIN OF FRACTIONAL CURRENCY.

In 1862 small silver change was
very scarce, and people could not
find a medium of exchange for small
transactions. Change had to be tax
en- in groceries and vegetables, etc.
General Spinner, treasurer OF the
United States, was appealed to Tor
change. There was no law under
which he could produce small cur
rency, so he ordered a large quantity
of postage stamps, FASTING them on
different sized pieces of paper to
represent different amounts. This
was dubbed "postal currency" From
this General Spinner got his 'dea OF
fractional currency, and aPPHeo &c
congress for the right to make 1t
The facsimile of postage stamps was
put on each piece Of currency, ano
for long time it was known al
"postal currency"
