This week in Placer County history

confederate-bill_original.pngOn Jan. 24, 1911, Andrucioli Magani was released from the Placer County Jail.

He was serving a six-month sentence for passing Confederate money (counterfeiting) in a Roseville business.

After serving 147 days, a friend of Magani paid $33, which was the balance of his fine, so he could be released early. At his release, Magani asked to get his Confederate bills back, but his request was denied.

Confederate money was created shortly before the outbreak of the U.S. Civil War in 1861 and was not backed by any assets. These bills were simply a promise to pay after the war if the South was successful.

Because of this, the value of Confederate money was subject to the perceived success of the South. Although its value began to fall almost immediately from the beginning of the war, it fell dramatically after the summer of 1863 with Union victories at Gettysburg and Vicksburg. By Christmas of 1864, a ham sold for $300 in Confederate money. At the end of the war, it was completely worthless.

However, even by 1911, collectors began to drive the price of Confederate money up.

Today, depending on the bank or state that issued it and its condition, Confederate bills could be worth as much as $1,000. Most, however, trade in the tens to low hundreds of dollars. Their collectability is perhaps what drove Magani to request the return of his Confederate bills.

From our collection: A Confederate $100 bill issued in 1862
