Confederate currency refers to the paper money issued by the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War. It was used from 1861 to 1865 and came in denominations ranging from $5 to $1,000. The currency was printed by the Confederate government and featured various portraits, including those of President Jefferson Davis and other prominent figures. Due to the Confederacy’s defeat, the currency became worthless, and its value was eventually pegged to the United States dollar at a fixed rate. Today, Confederate currency is highly collectible and can be valuable due to its historical significance.
