1860's Citizens' Bank of Louisiana $10 Ten-Dollar "Dixie Note" Bank Note

Please see the images for details on the condition of the note.

Obsolete Currency refers to paper money that was issued by entities other than the Federal Government, and generally in the period of 1782 - 1866.

The word "Dixie" refers to currency issued first by the Citizens State Bank in the French Quarter of New Orleans and then by other banks in Louisiana. These banks issued ten-dollar notes labeled Dix on the reverse side, French for "ten". The notes were known as "Dixies" by Southerners, and the area around New Orleans and the French-speaking parts of Louisiana came to be known as "Dixieland". Eventually, usage of the term broadened to refer to the Southern states in general.
