<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 1106028, member: 12789&quot;]I really like those &quot;evasion&quot; era notes that were issued after the Civil War that were issued in contravention of the prohibition of note issue - ie the National Banking Act and associated 10% taxes on issues.&nbsp; This one was issued not as script as much as it was issued as money, but still could only be used in their company store.&nbsp; Later on the coal companies in that part of the country would only issue what was clearly scrip and not money - of course was only good in the company stores and nowhere else.&nbsp; When I was in high school there was an older employee of our school that told of growing up in one of these communities in Alabama.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sometime I want to do a page specifically on &quot;evasion&quot; post Civil War era notes, they were issued as late as 1896, often by states and communities, but even railroads, coal companies and usually in the South of the USA.&nbsp; But I just did purchase a note from New England dated in 1873.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
