With the great improvements in transportation between 1838 and 1861, the two southern Mints were no longer needed in 1861, though they stayed open due to the inertia that obsolete government projects often tend to have. The Civil War was a good excuse to leave them shut down.

Thanks for posting this enlightening old report. It’s contributions like this that make the US Coins forum worthwhile.
30+ years coin shop experience (ret.) Coins, bullion, currency, scrap & interesting folks. Loved every minute!
Excellent in depth report. Enjoyed reading and understanding the process.
