    Take it to a local antique dealer who knows old currency to be sure. We cannot tell based on your description alone.

    Sounds like it might be Confederate currency. Check out this thread:

    Great call Rick, that serial number is a Confederate bill. A List Of Known Facsimile Confederate Notes Very likely real but the value would really depend on the condition. Like Rick said, take it to a dealer who can assess condition and value.I'd look for a dealer who does Confederate money rather than an antique dealer.

    In general, Confederate currency is widely available, and worth less, in many cases, than the face value of it.
