So then they would think it was REALLY old and worth a fortune.

So did you live in New Orleans, Charlotte, or Dahlonega? Those were the only cities in the Confederacy that had mints.

 

No.. Columbia SC..... Man your post made me question myself so I went out and Googled images..... So I was a litte off base. The building my company helped to renovate to a grocery store was actually titled “Confederate Printing Plant”.... Coins were not minted there but paper currency was printed there. Sorry for the bit of unintentional misleading info there!

 

Being born in Baltimore I can assure you that Baltimore has always benn given the short end of the stick.
I have always felt blessed to be from this city. And South Baltimore at that...
I do believe that a person could spend most of their life just visiting historic places in and around the city and state.
Within 10 miles of my home there's Baltimore, Annapolis, Ellicott city, 30 miles Washington DC, Southern Maryland , the Chesapeake bay, 100 miles the Atlantic Ocean. Yes blessed as we call this place the land of pleasent living....we love our history and all we and our ancestors contributed .
If you never been here....you need and come with a short list of places to see....and things to do.

 

I work in all the worst parts of the city so I hate it sometimes but when I step back and think about it, there really are some beautifully historical places to see.

 

Wife went there fifteen years ago for a convention. She was just completely taken with a boat service there. Old military landing craft that were changed to pleasure craft. I think she called them “duck boats”. She rode them every chance she could while she was there and still talks about them today.

 

Please send a picture of the other side of this plaque. I have a few CSA notes that were printed here. Fascinating history.

 

Sounds like a water taxi.

 

No it was the ducks and for safety reasons they are gone. The water taxis are still running the entire harbour.

 

Glady. Here you go

 

Thank you.

 

My grandmothers family started out there came over ca 1680. Ended up moving out to Ohio in the early 19th c and doing very well there. One of the major founding families of Columbus. Unfortunately by the depression all the money was gone
