Confederate Currency refers to the paper money issued by the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War (1861-1865). The currency was created to finance the war effort and was backed primarily by the promise of the Confederate government to pay its debts. As the war progressed and the South faced economic challenges, the value of this currency rapidly declined. The design of Confederate currency featured prominent figures and symbols from the Confederacy, including images of Robert E. Lee and various state seals. After the war, the currency became worthless, leading to significant financial losses for those who held it. Today, Confederate currency is often collected as a historical artifact.
