The Confederate dollar was not based on gold or any other real assets. It was simply based on a promise to redeem the banknotes in the event of Southern victory, and consequent independence. When it was clear that the South was bound to lose, after the double Union victories of July 1863, the currency went steadily downhill. After Lincoln won the 1864 election, it became worthless.

Inflation is a rise in prices and a depreciation of the currency. The Confederate dollar was not based on assets, but only on the promise of future victory. Owing to the Union Naval blockade, the South could not import or export, and its economy stagnated. Demand for basic commodities rocketed, causing steady inflation. By 1864, the Confederate dollar was only worth about 5 cents.
Probably the people who exchange their currency to a different currency before an inflation, then exchange that foreign currency back, therefore making a profit.

The Currency Reform Act of 184 was instituted by the Confederate government to address the rampant inflation which was having a devastating effect on the Southern wartime economy. Conversion of large denomination bills to 4 percent treasury bonds and reduction of redemption ratio for smaller bills resulted in temporary contraction and stabilization in the Confederate economy. Later wartime obligations forced further currency printing which then negated most of the positive effects of the Currency Reform Act.
