Confederate municipal scrip of this kind filled a genuine vacuum. By mid-1862, small Federal coins had vanished from circulation throughout the South — hoarded, melted, or simply unavailable — and the Confederate cent had never materialized as a circulating coin. Cities, counties, merchants, and railroads all stepped in with fractional paper, and Richmond, as the Confederate capital, produced some of the more formally issued examples.
Redemption was theoretically guaranteed in Confederate Treasury notes once accumulated in sufficient quantity, a promise that aged poorly.
