History

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 4^th 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.
