The Citizens Bank of Louisiana, a predecessor of J.P. Morgan Chase and Co., issued its own notes before the Civil War with the word "Dix", ten in French, on one side of the note. As the currency became widespread, people referred to the place of origin as "the land of the Dix," which was eventually shortened to "Dixieland". A true 1860 Dixie note is sold for about $9000 if it is untorn and in fairly good condition. They are extremely rare.

The 1860 o seated liberty dollar is a valuable coin, but it depends on the condition. It could be anything from 50 to 3000.
The 'simple' answer is: $ 140 - 145. You would today pay around $ 140 for a fixed package of basic commodities that would have cost you $5 back then. In reality, the answer is much more complex, depending on what you want to compare. For instance, you can also compare the value of $5 to the total dollar value of the US's economic output. In order to possess the same 'percentage' of this national output as you had then with your $5 dollar, that amount would now be worth over $ 18,000. The reason: the enormous growth of the US's economy since 1860.
This could be worth anywhere from 182 dollars all the way up to over 2,000 dollars. The difference depends on the grade of the coin.
