Beginning in 1862, new bond issues shifted from monetary financing to currency reform and refunding as a primary purpose. The elimination of excess paper money was critically important to price stability. These “refunding” bond programs were not compulsory until the Act of February 17, 1864, which converted treasury notes into long-term bonds or currency at a scaled down value. Unfortunately, mandatory currency refunding was too long delayed. Inflation continued and Confederate currency was virtually worthless by the end of the war.
Because of the continuous monetary reforms, the Treasury substituted temporary certificates and interim receipts to keep pace with the rapid schedule of bond issues. (Treasury receipts issued for payments such as taxes, tariffs and fees, were permanent proof of payment.) Temporary (interim) documents, instead, represented an executory transaction that was completed by the issue of new bonds or currency.
