The Texas dollar informally named the Texas redback was the paper money of the Republic of Texas. The Texas dollar was issued between January 1839 and September 1840 by Mirabeau B. Lamar to minimize national debt during his Presidency of the Republic of Texas. The name redback comes from the reddish color of the back of the bills.
