<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValpoBeginner, post: 2695880, member: 77066&quot;]There were several types of notes at the start of U. S. paper currency, including silver certificates, gold certificates, Interest bearing notes,&nbsp; greenbacks etc.</p><p>Im pretty sure that almost all notes were redeemable in silver or gold from the beginning (circa 1864) with the exception of National Currency after 1929. After the confederacy lost the war, people did not trust the paper currency and wanted their money in precious metal. </p><p><br /></p><p>It all came to an end finally in late 1964 when the price of an ounce of silver went above 1 dollar.&nbsp; The last silver certificates were dated 1958B. </p><p><br /></p><p>Does this answer your question?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
