| Comments |
By 1864, the Confederacy's currency had collapsed in practical terms — inflation was so severe that a single dollar note was functionally worthless before it left the press. Keatinge & Ball, operating out of Columbia, had taken over much of Confederate printing after the fall of New Orleans disrupted earlier supply chains, working under constant material shortages with degraded ink and increasingly poor-quality paper stock.
When Sherman's troops reached Columbia in February 1865, the printing facilities were destroyed. Notes from this final series survive in relatively large numbers because the Confederacy printed far more than it could ever circulate.
