It is probably the case that as a collectible, Confederate paper money has indeed kept its value better than the U.S. dollar. But the Confederate dollar did lose its function as money in 1865.

I’ve even seen examples where the ink used for the signatures ate through the paper. Examples of Confederate currency can be bought for between $30 and $100 for nice condition common notes.
