$100. Richmond, Virginia. VF-small paper clip. T-65 CR-490-94. Confederate Treasury Notes (banknotes) were ultimately issued in 50¢, $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, $500 & $1,000 denominations w/ a variety of designs, issuers & redeemable obligations. The amount of currency issued under the various acts of the Confederate Congress totaled $1.7 billion. Bills were released in 72 different note "types" in seven "series" from 1861 through 1864. Since there were many types of Confederate notes as well as notes issued by the states of the Confederacy, & since banks could issue their own notes, counterfeiting was a major problem for the Confederacy. Many of these contemporary counterfeits are identifiable today & they can be as valuable to a collector as a real note. Confederate dollars & coins remain the subject of a lively trade, w/ careful grading of damage & deterioration similar to booksellers' gradings.
