Product Description

Synopsis

The first part of the book is an historical narrative that discusses the events and people involved in the production and passing of counterfeit currency, and the counter-measures of the Confederate Treasury Department to protect its already weak medium of exchange from losing even more value. The second part is an illustrated catalog that presents descriptions of all known examples of counterfeit Confederate currency. Over 180 illustrations are included and show most of the counterfeit notes. The appendix provides a brief, nontechnical explanation of the printing processes - relief printing, intaglio printing, and lithography - used in the mid-nineteenth century to manufacture counterfeit currency.

5.0 out of 5 stars Long Overdue, 25 July 2004

By Jason Hood - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Counterfeit Currency of the Confederate States of America (Hardcover)

As a collector and student of Confederate currency, the availability of information on the contemporary counterfeit versions of the genuine currency was clearly lacking. This book provides a very helpful background and catalog. It fills in many of the blanks on the subject.
