That must be a fascinating book. Am I to understand you correctly in that individual states were issuing currency up until 1863? I knew they had done so prior to Union, but I didn't know the practice continued afterward.

The book is in storage for family reasons, so I cannot currently check details, but it's mostly a reference for business in that time period. However, at least some states were still issuing or using state currency in the 1820s. I would guess from context that most currency came from state-chartered banks rather than from the states themselves.

I was wondering if bank issued notes would be regarded as issuing from the authority of the state.

Anyways, we are stuck with the Fiat currency dollar controlled by the zero-intresters. The currency question is the biggest difficulty I see in weathering a financial collapse.

We really need a money system with which they cannot tamper.
