North Carolina began issuing fractional notes almost immediately after secession, driven by the same small-change crisis that plagued every Confederate state — specie disappeared from circulation within weeks as hoarding took hold. J. Spelman operated as Public Printer in Raleigh and produced multiple denominations for the state under that arrangement, handling both treasury warrants and currency work simultaneously.
The 80 × 40 mm format was almost certainly a practical decision: smaller cuts wasted less paper, and paper supply was already becoming a concern by late 1861.
