matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 08/09/2012 10:59 am I remember reading that these Educational Notes were intended to instruct those folks who could not read. Especially the Youth of America. Can somebody either confirm this or correct me? Edited by matthewvincent 08/09/2012 11:02 am Report this Post to the Staff

DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 08/09/2012 12:54 pm Thats a quality note, and a desirable one... I have looked at buying these and for any note of decent condition I think they are just a bit more than I want to spend. Your's looks very presentable but even tatty ones seem to be raising a bit on the bay. Report this Post to the Staff
D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 08/09/2012 11:51 pm What a wonderful note! I wish I could get all three from this series, only if they weren't so expensive. Quote: I remember reading that these Educational Notes were intended to instruct those folks who could not read. Especially the Youth of America. I am not sure if they were intended to instruct the illiterate. The $1 educational note is titled "History Instructing Youth." Report this Post to the Staff

With reference to Wikipedia, it says: (The term "Educational" is derived from the title of the vignette on the $1 note, "History Instructing Youth") Cheers Report this Post to the Staff
