Mechanics Savings & Loan Association was one of several Savannah institutions issuing fractional scrip during the Confederacy's final years, when small-denomination coinage had all but vanished from circulation. By 1864, faith in Confederate currency was collapsing rapidly — the February 1864 currency reform had already wiped out a third of existing note values — yet local businesses and mutual associations kept printing their own paper simply to make change.
Savannah's occupation by Sherman in December 1864 rendered virtually all such scrip worthless overnight. Surviving examples were typically discarded rather than redeemed, which is why most extant copies show heavy handling from their brief, frantic months of actual use.
