| Opmerkingen |
North Carolina turned to J.T. Paterson & Co. in Augusta rather than a Northern house for obvious reasons — by 1862, the established engravers in New York and Philadelphia were entirely inaccessible to Confederate-aligned state governments. Paterson was one of several Southern printers pressed into currency work well outside their usual commercial output, and the limitations show in the relatively crude execution compared to antebellum state issues.
North Carolina issued fractional notes partly to address the acute shortage of small change that plagued the Confederate states throughout the war, as coin disappeared from circulation almost immediately after secession.
