Here are sample of coins from the other two southern mints, Charlotte, North Carolina and Dahlonega, Georgia. These two small mints produced only gold coins, made mostly from the native gold that was separated from sands in the rivers or mined in the area. All of these coins are quite scarce. Each mint only produced a little over 1 million coins each from 1838 to 1861.
After the war, the Charlotte Mint opened as an assay office. The Dahlonega Mint was closed for good. The building at the Dahlonega because the main building for the Georgia Agricultural College. It burned in 1877. A replacement building was built on the old foundations.
