Confederate States dollars were hand-cut after printing, often resulting in uneven edges and easy margin splits. The notes also have handwritten signatures from a Register and Treasurer. It is also common for the serial number and printing date to be written in by hand. The John C. Calhoun $100 note design was the most commonly issued of its denomination in the 4th Series. some 670,400 of these notes were produced.
Authorized by the Act of April 17, 1862, the Confederacy issued $170 million in Confederate States dollars, with an additional $5 million worth released following a September 23, 1862, amendment.
