    Richmond Richmond, VA - 25 Cent Note - Inventory Number: CUR 066 / SOLD

    Fractional or postage currency has a rich history. At the beginning of the Civil War people starting hoarding coins for their precious metal content. Coins became difficult to find because of the hoarding. People started to try to use stamps instead of coins as a means of commerce. The government decided to help ease the hoarding issue by issuing “paper coins” also known as postage currency or fractional currency. This note was printed on other Civil War currency to conserve paper.
