The Confederate Dollar was the currency used by the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War (1861-1865). It was issued to finance the war effort and was backed primarily by the promise of future tax revenues. The notes came in various denominations and featured images of prominent figures and symbols of the Confederacy. Due to the economic challenges faced by the Confederacy, the value of the Confederate Dollar rapidly declined, leading to rampant inflation. After the war, the currency became worthless, and today, it is often collected as a historical artifact, reflecting the complexities of the Civil War era.
