The Miners' Life Insurance and Trust Company was chartered in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, in the heart of the Schuylkill County anthracite coal region. During the Civil War, small-denomination fractional currency vanished almost immediately from circulation as hoarding intensified — coins of any kind disappeared — and private firms, municipalities, and merchants filled the gap with their own scrip. This note is part of that response.
Insurance companies issuing circulating currency was already legally questionable before the National Currency Acts formalized federal control. Whether this company had genuine authorization to circulate scrip in 1862 is doubtful.
