Fractional currency was the Treasury's solution to a genuine crisis: by mid-1862, hoarding had stripped coins from everyday commerce so completely that merchants were issuing their own cardboard scrip and postage stamps were being glued to envelopes and used as change. Congress authorized fractional notes in July 1862, and the third series — printed from 1863 onward — was the first to drop the word "postage" from the face entirely, a deliberate move to distance the notes from the earlier postage currency stigma.
The National Currency Bureau ran three distinct varieties of this denomination in the third series, distinguished by the presence or absence of a surcharge on the back and by fiber content in the paper.
