COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - You can't spend the money -- but you can sell it. South Carolina is selling state-issued Civil War currency.
The money was supposed to have been destroyed more than a century ago. But some of the Confederate state's old money was stashed
away. Now, officials of the state archives are putting the old bills up for auction on eBay. That supposedly worthless money has
brought in about $200,000. Jack Meyer, a retired University of South Carolina history professor, doesn't know why the money wasn't
destroyed. He figures workers were just too lazy to do it.
