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.

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. |
