<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 110913, member: 66"]Paper money isn't "dated" each year. I don't believe you will find anything with a series date of 1864, you'll have to look for series of 1862 and I don't think you will find anything that will be cheap. The Confederate currency is inexpensive because once the Confederacy fell the paper money became worthless and was no longer used. The Federal currency continued in use and was wornout, replaced wth new issues and destroyed. Very little of the Federal currency survived while the Confederate currency was put away in large quantities.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your best bet is to go to the eBay coins catagory, look under Paper money US Large size notes and then do a search for 186*. I just did that and turned up 26 listings about half of which were real US paper currency. The cheapest is currently at $155.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you don't insist that the face value be a dollar or more then you might try searching under Fractional Currency instead of Large size notes. There you should be able to pick up some fractional currency notes from te 1860's for $25 or less. Depending of course on how nice you want the notes to be.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
