Description: For sale here is an awesome, extremely old Civil War era 10 cent Postal Currency note from 1862. Perfect for the collector of Civil War memorabilia, old US currency enthusiasts, or really anyone interested in a unique, highly-collectible item. History: The Civil War economy catalyzed a shortage of United States coinage—gold and silver coins were hoarded given their intrinsic bullion value relative to irredeemable paper currency at the time. Treasurer of the United States Francis E. Spinner has been credited with finding the solution to the shortage of coinage: he created postage currency (which led into the use of fractional currency). Postage (or postal) currency was the first of five issues of US Post Office fractional paper money printed in 5-cent, 10-cent, 25-cent, and 50-cent denominations and issued from 21 August 1862 through 27 May 1863. Thanks for stopping by! Please let us know any questions at all.
