Product Description
This unique, low-denomination banknote was issued issued during and after the Civil War from 1862 to 1879. Created in response to the hording and shortage of gold, silver and copper coins, they were often referred to as shinplasters. Physically smaller than other paper money, this fractional currency has a face value of 25 cents and carries no serial numbers. Most were eventually destroyed. Very Good quality. Designs and dates will vary.
