The Confederate currency program was never centrally organized — notes were issued by the government, individual states, cities, railroads, and insurance companies, often simultaneously, creating a chaotic monetary environment that fueled counterfeiting on an industrial scale. By 1864, the real Confederate hundred-dollar notes had depreciated so severely that inflation required over a thousand Confederate dollars to purchase what one U.S. dollar could buy. Replicas produced for the collector market replicate the genuine article but bear "REPLICA" or similar overprints mandated by the Hobby Protection Act of 1973.
