<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tommyc03, post: 2079330, member: 17665&quot;]I believe I read somewhere that there was a lot of trouble with hoarding during the Civil War, which was one reason for privately issued store cards/tokens and that the general public did not trust the government to honor their cash, especially since a major financial crash preceeding the war. Not to mention that the Confederate forces were burning everything in site including banks and stealing the money and issuing their own illegal notes and cash. Even though gold and silver certificates were recalled a long time ago they are still legal tender as are all postage stamps for use in mailing as they also were never demonetized.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
