Confederate currency. [from the Charlotte observer, June, 1903.] Valuable information concerning the notes issued. The best collection. North Carolina has it, including all rare Specimens—Where and how the printing was Done—Anecdotes and reminiscences. This State owns a complete collection of Confederate money, which is arranged according to date of issue and framed, and which attracts a great deal of attention, some of the bills being of great beauty and extremely scarce. In fact the first issue of bills has for more than thirty years been held at high figures. A number of counterfeits of Confederate money of the rarer varieties have been made. The first issue has been counterfeited at least twice. The first issue was engraved by the National Bank Note Company, of New York, and embraces four bills, these being all dated at Montgomery, Ala., which was the first seat of government. The dates are in all cases written with ink and not printed, and all four bills

It seems that these bills were let by contract to engravers at several places, and that some were engrave large figure and the word one very boldly printed in green.
