South Carolina sells Confederate money to raise funds at archives
The South Carolina Department of Archives and History has sold hundreds of Confederate bills stored since the Civil War era. About 40 boxes were tucked in the Statehouse basement and later moved to archives, yielding roughly $200,000 in recent years through online sales and auctions. Jack Meyer, 74, a retired USC history professor, oversees the project, spending hours a month to select bills in good condition.
