<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 2268464, member: 72790&quot;]What&#039;s hard to find and collect are (except for fractional currency) the notes and currency of the Northern states, especially US federal issues. They remained lawful money and in the case of federal notes were always legal tender and Northern banks of the war were generally able to redeem their state bank notes and some got federal charters and then their notes became legal tender (and still are).In Southern currency the Virginia Warrant notes (except for the $1 note) are also somewhat hard to find as they were mostly redeemed and withdrawn by the Commonwealth before the war ended. Virginia accepted them for tax payments and so they retained considerable value until late in the war, more so that the notes issued by the CSA government. Crisp CSA notes are not rare, USA notes are.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
