  2. That three dollar bill is very cool. I didn't know there was a time when the individual States minted their own money. And I've never heard of counterfeit stamps. Wonder what the penalty was for getting caught.

  3. Thanks Anne...during the war all the states had there own money, thats why counterfeiting was out of control. Not only states had there own money , most of the banks had there own money also.

  6. I was not aware that the states all had their own money during the war, that must have made logistics a bit of a nightmare!

  7. Most of the banks printed there own money in addition to the states printing money.
