The SCV - Sons Of Confederate Veterans are a historical, patriotic and non-political organization comprised of descendents of Confederate Soldiers and sailors dedicated to insuring that a true history of the 1861 -1865 period is preserved and presented to the public. The first series of Confederate paper money, issued in March 1861, bore interest and had a total circulation of $1,000,000. As the war began to tilt against the Confederates, confidence in the currency diminished, and the government inflated the currency by continuing to print the unbacked banknotes. As of 2014, single notes of Confederate currency can be worth anywhere from a few dollars to tens of thousands of dollars for the rarest notes in excellent condition. A set including all 70 of the basic types of Confederate currency in average condition has a value of approximately $200,000. Beginning collectors often seek all the basic types.
