notes: label: Description
content: When the Civil War began the Confederate Government still accepted United States currency. Initially they printed a million dollars’ worth of notes, like this one thousand-dollar note. Notes like this were treated more as bonds than bills since they were issued in such large denominations including $50, $100, and $500. At this time much of the Confederate currency was produced in New York City. Eventually other printing firms such as the Southern Bank Note Company in New Orleans would fill the void.
