Dixie Coins (Great Nuclear War)

The Dixie Coins commonly known as the Southern Dollar is the Currency of New Dixie.

About the Coin
First minted in 1979, in Dixie Capital of Montgomery. The Dixie Coin was an attempt by President Fob James’s administration to give the Dixie’s National Bank and therefore the government more control over the economy. It would be in public circulation for 2 years before officially replacing the US Doller in New Dexie. Dixie Coins are made from a mix of Nickel, Copper, and a small amount of Sliver.

Throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s travelers, traders, and Klan War Bands would spread the coin into other nations in the region. Most Southerners in neighboring nations would accept Dixie Coins as an alternative currency, which lead to it earning the nickname “The Southern Dollar”. It is unknown how many Dixie Coins are in circulation, but current estimates believe that around 600,000,000 have been minted since 1979.

Design
The Original design of the Dixie Coin had on it Obverse the Face of Confederate President Jefferson Davis with the national Motto “Dixie Today. Dixie Tomorrow. Dixie Forever" and on the Reverse, it bears an Eagle, with the Statement “Let the People Speak” “Stand up for America” which was asked to be add by former President Jimmy Carter. This would remain the design for almost two decades, until 1998 with the death of President George Wallace. Wallace’s son George Wallace Jr. who was serving as president of New Dixie at this time would have the Obverse changed into a picture his father, with the statement “George Wallace Statesmen”
