mtnstyne Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Forgive my ingorance, do you have background on this note? I am guessing it is some sort of WWII occupation note? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiHoAudio Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Here's a Dutch note from WWII (printed in the US by ABNC) with an interesting serial #..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIM F. Posted January 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weg Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 jimbucks, along with the history that's what I'd call an interesting note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lettow Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Forgive my ingorance, do you have background on this note? I am guessing it is some sort of WWII occupation note? 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.

JIM F. Posted February 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Let's get this topic some activity!

BRIAN339 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Heres an interesting uncut sheet I own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIM F. Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 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 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Its actually 4 notes on one sheet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryka Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Very neat sheet, so what were the denominations on the sheet, I saw 2 10s and one 20, what was the fourth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdavis70@gmail.co-migratio Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Collector-migration Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 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. Bill Collector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JIM F. Posted March 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Great piece Steve! It's really a nice bonus that they printed the pamphlets on the same paper. Not exactly. The paper is "another product" of that company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

gdavis70@gmail.co-migratio Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 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. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
