However, there's a good chance you have a copy rather than a genuine bill. Millions of replicas have been sold at gift shops around various Civil War sites and in memorabilia. Any made since 1973 will have the word COPY in small letters somewhere in the design.

The Confederate States of America depicted slaves as happy and healthy on currency to promote a positive image of slavery and justify their socio-economic system. This portrayal aimed to counteract abolitionist narratives that highlighted the harsh realities of slavery, presenting it instead as a benevolent institution. By idealizing the lives of enslaved individuals, the Confederacy sought to rally support for their cause and reinforce the notion of racial superiority, ultimately aiming to legitimize their fight for independence.
