Message:: [QUOTE="GrimReaper, post: 1838362, member: 2584"]If I'm not mistaken , just about all of that collection came from one place . It was an old plantation/farm about 25 miles from where I was raised as a kid . Long story short , the Owner and husband of the widow who owned the Cain Farm sent this money home to her as he served in the Confederate Army and was something of importance as I do not know for sure what it was and he owned this huge Farm in Warren/Grundy County TN . The old lady just crammed the money in books in their library at the Cain home .             Upon her passing their kids got the farm and assets . Their kids , kids/grandkids actually wound up splitting the money as the farm was sold during the mid 70's I think . There was supposed to be literally thousands of Confederate money in this old library of the Cain Plantation . Was also told two of the sibling brothers were just going to burn it as it was "worthless" but two other siblings stepped in and said NO . Some collector and /or somebody around Nashville bought the Confederate cash for pennies on the dollar if that .            I have seen the display along time ago and there is more that is not displayed anymore . I don't know if the Museum got every piece but I heard that they bought a lot of it . Yes it is a wonderful collection !![/QUOTE]
