A Confederate two-dollar bill dated Feb. 17, 1864, the final year the Confederate States printed money, is displayed at Fort Gaines museum, Aug. 12, 2021, in Dauphin Island, Alabama. So much of this paper currency was printed that it was valueless, prompting some to use it to wallpaper their homes. The siege of Fort Gaines occurred during the American Civil War. Confederate troops surrendered the fort to the Union on Aug. 8, 1864. The Fort is on the National Register of Historic Places and is listed as one of the 11 Most Endangered Historic Places by the National Trust For Historic Preservation. (Photo by Carmen K.
