19th Century Obsolete Currency
Dating back to before the U.S. began issuing its own legal-tender paper currency...
In 1836, in an era when coins were scarce and before the first federal paper currency was printed, private banks across the United States began issuing their own bank notes. Each bank’s intricate and beautiful notes were different from all others, often featuring specially commissioned steel engravings that represented the history and culture of the region.
Thousands of different notes were issued by large and small banks alike, usually made in extremely small editions and used only in the local economy. Because most were redeemed and destroyed when the federal government started to issue its own paper currency in the Civil War era, few collectors have ever seen one. But now, you can own one of these museum-worthy notes, available exclusively from PCS Stamps & Coins.
