content: The Smithsonian's Richmond Hoard consists of over 700,000 Confederate notes, turned in and canceled in the waning days of the Civil War. Cancellation could be done in a number of ways. One of the most popular (and neatest) methods involved cutting the notes with a parallel series of x-shaped blades, as on this specimen. The pink paper was adopted as a protection against counterfeiting. It was later abandoned.
