Confederate money
Dixie's defunct dollars
Confederate money is currency issued by the Confederate States of America during the Civil War (1861–1865).
Because the Confederacy lost and the currency became worthless, Confederate money now refers to anything without real value: That contract isn't worth Confederate money.
The bills are collected as historical curiosities.
