A touristy dive bar tradition involves plastering the walls—or nearly any available surface—with inscribed #money donated by customers. Here’s one such spot, the infamous Salty Dawg Saloon on the Homer Spit. #opcSpecialTheme 📸 #alaska #bar #papermoney #touristy

The first colonial paper money in America was issued in Massachusetts Bay in 1690. These bills, also known as 'the Massachusetts Bills of Credit,' were used to fund military expenses during King William's War. 🏴 #ColonialHistory #PaperMoney #1690

@Scoffin
1/4 Some years back, I was contacted by a man writing an article for a #Numismatics ( #coin and #PaperMoney collecting) magazine. The man had found my #FamilyTree online, and wanted to know if I had any photos for my ancestor, Capt. John Henry Freligh. (I didn't.)

He told me that my #ancestor had printed much of the #currency for the #Confederacy .

I knew Capt. Freligh had been a #steamboat Captain, and had published a newspaper for a short time. And family stories said he was friends with Conf.Pres. Jefferson Davis. I even knew that Capt. Freligh's wife was a spy for the South (smuggling information & medicine in the buttons of her dress, across enemy lines).

But I was surprised that out of all those stories, the one that had been lost in our #OralHistory was that he was entrusted with printing the paper money for the South! (He was half of "Freligh & Hutton" on the images below.)
