Dillon Valued Member United States 240 Posts	Posted 06/07/2009 12:20 pm Hello, I just bought a note, and it says fractional currency on it. It isn't a complete note, it is just half of it (must have been torn in half), I was wondering, what is fractional currency? I searched it on google, but all I found was that it was made during the civil war.. Thanks, -Dillon Report this Post to the Staff
