Paper currency has been used as a medium for commerce since the early ancient Chinese Dynasties. Paper currency, or often called banknotes, are a type of negotiable currency created by a bank as a promissory note payable on demand. Originally, paper money was used as a promise to deliver coin-based currency in an exchange of commerce. Over the years, the easy–to–carry paper currency simply became more popular than heavier coins and it cost less to produce.

Since the early settlers, currency has been an essential part of commerce. While precious metals like gold and silver were not widely mined, notes were the payment method used as an active currency. Early on, Continental Congress knew the importance of paper currency and the impact it would have on commerce and production.
Through the decades and generations, different forms of currency were created out of necessity, such as Confederate Currency (This is because Silver and Gold was being hoarded or depleted during the time of the Civil War). Fractional Currency and Large Size Currency became important post-Civil War simply because they offered financial resources when the country was rebuilding. As these rare currency notes became more important throughout time, each is shaped by an important historical event that adds to the already high value of these notes.
Even in modern times, Small Size Bank Notes and MPC’s were printed and played an important role in United States currency. At U.S. Coins and Jewelry, we carry a large selection of rare money. Learn more about variations of rare currency by understanding the history of our rare U.S. currency below.
