B. Duncan of Columbia, South Carolina was one of several small regional printers the Confederate Treasury turned to as the war ground down access to better-equipped Northern and European firms. The result, across the Duncan-printed series, was a noticeably coarser product — thinner ink coverage, less precise plate registration — compared to the earlier Hoyer & Ludwig or Southern Bank Note Company issues.
The one-dollar denomination was among the least practical Confederate notes in daily commerce; most transactions at that level continued in coin or simply went unrecorded. Surviving Duncan-printed dollars are common enough, but centering problems and uneven trimming make clean examples harder to find than the raw population numbers suggest.
