Picture of the day

Postal Currency was introduced as an emergency measure during the American Civil War after people began hoarding gold, silver and copper coins, which disrupted everyday commerce. The United States Post Office Department was authorized to print paper money in small denominations, but the notes issued from August 21, 1862, through May 27, 1863, were officially only redeemable for postage stamps.Notes: United States Post Office Department; scan: Michael Holley

Merger and reformat proposal

If there is no objection, I would like to merge this article with Fractional currency under the name Fractional currency, turn it into a list-class article, add a table with a complete type-set of high resolution images from the Smithsonian, and prep it to go to FLC. I would appreciate help with the merge so as not to loose the edit history data. I would then replace the text with essentially the same text, reorganized, edited, and fully referenced. Thanks-Godot13 (talk) 01:19, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal and discussion regarding merge has been open for over 2 weeks. No objections voiced. Merge/redirect will be put into place. Talk page will be redirected.-Godot13 (talk) 22:45, 10 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
