What's New

Introduction, Progress and Status of Development

Background
The Tennessee obsolete currency issued from banks, the state and local governments is covered by Paul Garland's book THE HISTORY OF EARLY TENNESSEE BANKS AND THEIR ISSUES. However, neither Paul's book or any other source has been published on Tennessee merchant scrip. As we solicited information about our previous ebook, Chattanooga Money, Bill Swafford, Jr. gave us a copy of a listing with 279 Xerox copies of Tennessee merchant scrip. Tom immediately recognized it as a copy of Charlie Sedman's collection he had sold in the 1980s to the Schingoethes. We talked with Charlie Sedman and he agreed to let us use it as a starting point for publishing a reference on Tennessee merchant scrip. Charlie said that he and Paul Garland were going to do a book on Tennessee merchant scrip but never got to it.

Scope
The authors built a draft reference of Tennessee Merchant Scrip issued prior to about 1900 one city at a time over a period of 1-2 years in an electronic format to keep the publication cost at a minimum and allow continuous updating of the material over the time span. The approach was to build the reference on a web site where the partly completed reference can be accessed to solicit contributions of historical information, color images and listing of the scrip for inclusion. Initially the reference contained a listing of known Tennessee scrip with draft web pages from the cities we knew issued scrip. If we had a color image it was included in the scrip listing. If we only had a Xerox copy of the scrip it was included with a note that a color image was needed. If we did not have an image of the scrip but knew it existed from catalog listings or other references we inserted a note that the an image was needed.

New cities were added when new notes from that city were found and previous city's information was updated over time. Historical information and images was credited to each contributor within the reference. A "What's new" sequential time listing of contributions has been maintained on the Web site (see contributions section below) to encourage contributors and allow users to follow construction and updates.

The reference includes a listing of all known Tennessee merchant scrip, color images of all notes and background information for each merchant. Rarity was estimated and records of past asking / selling prices is included in an Excel file that is also continiously updated.

The scrip is listed within each city by issuing company, or signature with a few notes on each page. Where there a large number of notes from a single company they are listed on multiple pages.

Merchants Scrip Issued Before the Civil War
Most scrip issued prior to the Civil War was specifically printed for a specific company or businessman with the name printed and signed by the principle officer.

Civil War Merchants Scrip
Fractional currency or scrip came into prominence during the Civil War because US coins were hoarded because their bullion value was greater than their monetary value and because the CSA did not produce coins. The CSA did not produce any fractional currency in the early part of the war. Most of the scrip issued during the Civil War was not printed locally for a specific business. It was general scrip that any business could buy, sign and issue.

Merchants Scrip Issued After the Civil War
Most scrip issued after to the Civil War was specifically printed for a specific company in many different denominations with the company name printed and signed by an official of the company.

Publication Plan and Reference Format
As the electronic reference was built, it was published on the web in a format that allows viewing on your PC monitor. The web format allowed users to follow the construction of the reference and see what is needed that they can contribute.

After the reference has been completed it will be offered on a CD and a book. The CD format will operate at a faster speed, eliminates the password protection, and allows higher resolution. The current plan is to include a yearly subscription to the web site with the CD purchase. The web site will be continiously updated as information and material becomes avaliable.

3/1/06   Moved TN Merchant Scrip from Bob Schriner web site to schafluetzel.org. All the HTML code has been modified to use the whole screen / page width because printing large width notes were being cut off with the scale used. The links have been moved to the top and bottom vs the left side. Also combined the Overview, Scrip, List and Bibliography pages for each city into one page for almost all cities. Where there were a lot of notes in a city I reduced the number of pages by combining some pages. This will reduce the number of pages that need to be printed.
