Background:  Up to the end of the Civil War period banks and
merchants could issue their own banknotes, this was known as
the "free banking era" in American history, many of these
banks went broke and the notes are sometimes called "broken
banknotes".  They were issued with many interesting vignettes
and some odd denominations, $3 banknotes seem strange to us
now but in this time period they were very common.
