This is a very attractive original Civil War $1.00 note
from the Mechanics Savings & Loan Association in the state of Georgia. It was
issued from Savannah, Georgia and is so marked on the
front of the note along with the issuance date of April 4th 18642. This note has a simple
but effective design. It has the bank name in the top center of the note. The
note is correctly hand signed and numbered in ink at the bottom. The note is in
well-circulated condition with some old tabs on the back from a previous mounting. The note measures 5-7/8ths inches by 2-1/4th inches in overall size. It comes in an acid free holder for display and
preservation. What is special about this note is the paper that it is printed
on. During the Civil War paper was in short supply. It was cheaper of the bank
to buy paper that had already been printed on rather than buy new paper. If you
notice this note was printed on paper that had already had currency printed on
the back. I heard a man call these "Hard Times" notes one time and that is a
great way to describe them. It makes a neat thing to show your friends when you
show them your Civil War collection.
