About this banknote
I couldn't find specific information about a United States 10-dollar banknote from 1863 with Pick number 108. It appears there's a discrepancy, as the images show a fractional currency note, not a 10-dollar bill. However, here's a factual block based on the available data:
---
The U.S. Department of the Treasury issued the 10-cent fractional currency series in 1863, produced by the American Bank Note Company, New York. This series was introduced following the Act of March 3, 1863, to alleviate the coin shortage during the Civil War due to hoarding.
The front side of the note features an allegorical figure, with inscriptions stating its denomination and receivability for all U.S. stamps. The back showcases ornate geometric designs and denominations in green ink. This fractional note was signed by Lucius E. Chittenden, Register of the Treasury, and Francis E. Spinner, Treasurer of the United States.
