TRUTH !!
As soon as the Civil War broke out, people began hoarding gold and silver
coins. Eventually, even the smaller coins, such as pennies and three-cent
pieces, became scarce. The mint tried to keep up with demand, but as soon as
new coins were released, they disappeared from circulation. This created a
lot of problems for merchants. People began using postage stamps as a
substitute for small change, but stamps are fragile, and wore out quickly. A
man named John Gault invented a brass holder with a clear window made of
mica that could hold a stamp and prevented it from being damaged. In
addition, merchants could stamp their names and addresses on the back of the
container, and get free advertising. These "encased postage stamps" are
popular with some collectors.
