<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 624688, member: 19065&quot;]I just ran a few simple keyword searches in Google... You can find references on these notes all over the web. Here&#039;s some to get started until someone here swings by with further insight:</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Fractional&nbsp; Currency of 1862 </b></p><p>&quot;As the war continued copper coins as well as silver coins were hoarded because they were worth more than the rapidly inflating paper currency. By the time these fractional notes were issued in September of 1862 it took 25 Confederate dollars to buy one $10 U.S. gold coin3. Starting in 1862 fractional currency was printed in quarter and half dollar denominations to fill the need for small change. These notes shown in figure 21-22 have a harp and book vignette in the top center. Varieties of these types were printed on un-issued Bank of Chattanooga notes.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/forum/t58293/www.schafluetzel.org/.../Bank%20of%20Chattanooga%20Article5.pdf" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/forum/t58293/www.schafluetzel.org/.../Bank%20of%20Chattanooga%20Article5.pdf">www.schafluetzel.org/.../Bank%20of%20Chattanooga%20Article5.pdf</a></p><p><br /></p><p>more here:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/forum/t58293/www.schafluetzel.org/.../Bank%20of%20Chattanooga%20Article1A.pdf" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/forum/t58293/www.schafluetzel.org/.../Bank%20of%20Chattanooga%20Article1A.pdf">www.schafluetzel.org/.../Bank%20of%20Chattanooga%20Article1A.pdf</a></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.northstamp.com/RETAIL/COINS/SILVER%20COIN%20PICS/o97.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>from: <a href="http://www.northstamp.com/RETAIL/COINS/obsolete_currency.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.northstamp.com/RETAIL/COINS/obsolete_currency.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.northstamp.com/RETAIL/COINS/obsolete_currency.htm</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
