Love the s/n 10 on the $10! Awesome!

 

I will add a zero to your serial number...

Forgive my ingorance, do you have background on this note? I am guessing it is some sort of WWII occupation note?

Here's a Dutch note from WWII (printed in the US by ABNC) with an interesting serial #.....

 

[JIM F.]

On Dec. 12, 1935 there was a fire at the Treasury Dept. in Washington, DC. A burning box of these was thrown by the fire dept. onto the street accounting for the only survivors as all other were destroyed. They were cancelled and not legal tender -- imagine the disappointment of those who gathered them from the street!

jimbucks, along with the history that's what I'd call an interesting note.

[CHAWK]

Nice group of notes!

[JIM F.]

DOUBLE VISION?? Look closely...one of these is a * note. Otherwise twins. Now how cool is this!

During the occupation of Japan and Germany, entry into the countries was tightly controlled by the military governments. Business travelers had to have permission of the military government. They stayed in approved hotels, rode approved taxis and trains and could only visit approved restaurants, etc.

 

In Japan business travelers were required to convert their money into Foreign Trade Payment Certificates which could only be used in the approved places. In Germany, the trade organization set up by the western governments was the Joint Export Import Agency (JEIA). JEIA Travelers Coupons denominated in Reichsmarks (pre-1948 Currency Reform) and Deutschemarks (post Currency Reform) were used.

 

Both FTPC and JEIA Travelers Coupons are scarce.

i like the $10 graded notes with same serial numbers jimbucks. nice pick up

[JIM F.]

Let's get this topic some activity! Here is an error note that you don't see everyday....unfortunately you probably can not see it from the scan, but the description on the PMG holder says it all.

 

[BRIAN339]

Heres an interesting uncut sheet I own.

[JIM F.]

Nice sheet Brian! Thanks for posting. I've learned something today....there can be more than a single note with the exact same serial number (in this example 3 of them). Interesting.

 

[BRIAN339]

Its actually 4 notes on one sheet!

[jtryka]

Very neat sheet, so what were the denominations on the sheet, I saw 2 10s and one 20, what was the fourth?

[gdavis70@gmail.co-migratio]

 

Most national sheets from 1902 came in sheets of 10 10 10 20. Making the $20 statistically rarer.... oddly there is no real premium for a $20.

 

Some banks were 10 10 10 10

[Bill Collector-migration]

I'm not really into collecting special currency serial numbers or things like that and did not even know I had this till another collector brought it my attention. I guess it what's called a "radar" number. The dealer I got it from a few years ago never mentioned it to me, in fact I don't think he even noticed it. It's different and nice but I did not pay any more for it than what a 1918 $ 1.00 FRBN is worth in the condition it's in.

A Gilbert note with historic pamphlet

 

[JIM F.]

That certainly is an interesting note. I've never heard of something like this before. Thanks for posting.

[BC1]

Great piece Steve! It's really a nice bonus that they printed the pamphlets on the same paper.

[JIM F.]

Not exactly. The paper is "another product" of that company.

I see. Thanks for pointing that out. The small red and blue disks in the pamphlet paper do remind me of some security features seen in MPC, too.

[Steve in Tampa]

Look for the article about this note in the upcoming Paper Money magazine (May/June Edition). I had some help and encouragement from Fred Reed.

[gdavis70@gmail.co-migratio]

 

Cool Radar on that FRBN! Nice to get a bonus like that without even paying the premium. When you are selling the note don't make the same mistake. :-)

[jtryka]

That experimental note is very cool and very rare!
