Hey, aren't you going to defend your claim that the confederates invading the north had to exchange their confederate money for US dollars at the going exchange rate before they used them to pay for everything they "requisitioned" everything that they could get their hands on?

My favorite story about confederate money, by the way, is that counterfeiters decided, after a while, that it was so worthless it wasn't worth counterfeiting. One of them was selling $20,000 of CSA notes for $5 US.

We used to go into the Huntsville Army/Navy store and buy bundles of confederate bills for pennies...

I can’t find the letter yet; a guy in Ewells Corps was complaining that he couldn’t use Confed. Money to by I what I recall was Jam/Jelly from a store in York PA. The shop owner then called him a Tory. P-eed him off. I’ll keep looking.
