Collecting CSA currency clearly presents many opportunities and has many benefits. The large collector base allows for interaction with a wide range of people, makes it easy to learn from others; it also makes it easy to buy and sell. There is a rich history behind CSA notes, and there are many interesting and beautiful examples of art visible on CSA currency. A great deal of information has been written on the subject, and is readily available to the new, and advanced collectors as well . . . In the final analysis, the most important thing to consider when deciding to collect CSA paper money is what is most appealing to you . . . People began collecting CSA paper money not long after the fall of Richmond in 1865. At first, these notes were keepsakes, mementos of the struggle for independence, that became family heirlooms. Large collections of captured CSA notes were retained by the U.S. government, whose officials struck up an interest in studying these financial instruments of the late Confederacy. -- Collecting Confederate Paper Money, by Pierre Fricke (2005).
