| Opmerkingen |
The Republic of Texas issued several series of treasury notes in its brief existence, and the so-called "Redbacks" — named for their distinctive red ink on the reverse — are among the more notorious. Authorized under the Act of January 1839, they were printed in excessive quantities relative to any realistic tax base, and public confidence collapsed quickly. By 1842, they were trading at roughly two cents on the dollar against specie.
Printing was done in New Orleans, not within the republic itself. The Texas treasury had neither the infrastructure nor the equipment to produce its own currency.
