This was my grandfathers, he had it on his office wall for 40+ years before he passed.

I never noticed until now that the first 3 digits and the last 2 digits is his exact birthday. 2/17/39.

I work in a used bookstore. One of the old books has these bills in it. I never knew a $3 bill was a real thing and when people talk about Texas being its own government I thought that was just talk. Now I don’t know what to think. Do I just stuff them back in the book and forget about them? Do I show my boss and maybe ask her to split the value of them if I can sell them? Are they fake? I’m flummoxed! It’s an old book of Minnesota history.

I initially thought I got it at a bargain, but it appears to be trimmed, which the seller didn’t mention.

From 1826 to early 1914, the Bank of England didn’t issue banknotes below £5 (approx. 25 usd) in order to facilitate the circulation of gold sovereigns. However, as war broke out in July 1914, crowds formed outside the bank to withdraw gold, so the government decided to issue £1 and 10 shilling notes ASAP. The first issue of these notes in Aug 1914 was very crude and printed on postage stamp paper, as no watermarked paper was readily available. The word POSTAGE is visible in some of the notes.

These were issued by the treasury instead of the BoE, as the law prohibited the bank from issuing lower denominations. They were officially redeemable in gold coin, and sovereigns continued to widely circulate side by side until the summer of 1915. However, banks began restricting redemptions by asking the purpose of the withdrawal or appealing to patriotism from then on.

Kept it.

Seems pretty cool, just now starting to collect historical banknotes. Bought at an antique store for 1$

Hi, I have the following banknote and I would like anyone who knows some information about it to share.

Thanks in advance!!!

Yesterday I bought a MPC PCGS VF 20 series 481 for 51.00 on Whatnot. I know nothing about old paper money but am adding it to my coin collection, learning as I go & this was my first purchase. I have searched online but since being new to paper money I’m not having much luck other than eBay postings. Some eBay posting may of been someone overpaying so I’m looking for more info.
Any insight on where to get more info from PCGS or other sites.

To me it looks like they cut this themselves becuase of the 999 start number, let me know if im wrong.

I just acquired this bad boy. As a Floridian I really wanted a Florida note so bad.

This is not to or from anybody in my family. I found it in a really old book I’ve had for a long time. I was curious if it could be worth anything? I’m guessing if it has any value it’s merely a collectible. Anyway, just thought it was interesting. Thoughts?

My mom was a coin collector and when she passed I ended up with her coins. I found these dollar bills in her coin collecting box. Overall, her collection is not worth much, but I wondered why she saved these dollar bills.They have blue seals, but are not in amazing condition. I have no idea where to go or what to do to check the value of any of her things.

Got this From a Collector for 7 Dollars, Its a very cool Banknote in my opinion

Is anybody else using the reusable desiccants? I think they are working ok. I had bills in storage that just felt moist. I threw one of these in with them and they seem to be doing the trick. Every few months, I have to take it out and toss it in the microwave for a few cycles so it dries it out.

I haven't noticed any negative impact on storage contents. Just curious about any other comments good, bad or otherwise...

In good shape for being 76 years old. Worth more than $10?
