You have Civil War money? That's impressive.

Greenback (1860s money)

Greenbacks were paper currency (printed in green on the back) issued by the United States during the American Civil War.

Modern paper money is considered greenbacks. The Kingston Trio did a song about them.

And I don’t give a damn about a greenback dollar
Spend it fast as I can
For a wailin’ song and a good guitar
The only things that I understand, poor boy
The only things that I understand
