actually, CSA "currency" was NOT "money", per se, but rather was "notes payable after the conclusion" of the war between the USA & CSA.(in point of fact, each note specifically STATED that fact on the "face".)

the fact that those notes were accepted as money does NOT change what they actually WERE.

I've seen a lot of pictures of confederate currency and every single one had "Pay to the bearer on demand" on the front, not "notes payable after the conculsion" or some such tripe. I'd ask for some examples of the currency you're talking about but I know better than to believe you would actually produce it.

Regardless of wording we can both agree that the money was worthless, right?
