Nice pick-ups! That's a good set of notes for your type set. Congrats! Oh, and my new 1963 red seal 2 is on its way to my set, fyi!  |

They look really nice. It may just be poorly printed, but the red printed writing on the Hawaiian note doesn't look like English, anyone know what it is?

I was going to guess that but it seemed ridiculous that a Hawaiian US note would have Hebrew on it.

I like how the series 1928 Federal Reserve Notes were redeemable in gold when they also issued series 1928 Gold Certificates...
Makes one wonder why no FRN's were redeemable in silver !
Imagine living back then when Federal Reserve Notes (Green Seal), Silver Certificates (Blue Seal), Gold Certificates (Yellow Seal), Legal Tender Notes (Red Seal), National Currency (Brown Seal) type 1 & 2 Local Bank Notes, National Currency (Brown Seal) Federal Reserve Bank Notes, Brown Seal Hawaii Notes and Yellow Seal North Africa Notes ALL CIRCULATED SIDE BY SIDE...
[I know the Hawaii & North Africa Currency was issued for overseas use only, but found it's way state side after the war and Gold Certificates could only be saved as a collectable after FDR banned ownership of gold coins]

Heh. Could you imagine trying to spend them all at the same time today? Not that I'd do it, but I'm just imagining the reaction of a cashier when confronted with a multi-color assortment of bills...

One hour is not too bad. A weekend trip with your son is worth it.

Lucky you got gas to go to a show!! I missed today's bourse out on Long Island. I live in NYC and can't get gas yet. Hopefully tomorrow, I'm an even number, however my wife thinks I odd though!! Hung around the house looking at my coins. Oh well I'll have to wait another two weeks.
