mds308 Pillar of the Community United States 1721 Posts	Posted 01/30/2013 1:13 pm Last week I had purchased some old coin books at an estate sale. You may remember the 1916 coin book I posted last week. I was thumbing through this book when I noticed a Confederate note in betwixt the pages. I got VERY excited and was just about to jump up with joy when I noticed the reverse was an advertisement for a local (no longer around) piano store. Check out their 3 digit telephone number. On the notes front there were the letters that you never want to see. FACSIMILE. Boo Hoo. Also inside the book was a WWII Bank of France Cinq Francs note. I wanted to share this Confederate knock off with you because it is an actual coupon. Kind of like money. And the book is cool too.

The French note is a cinQ not a cing. It can be confusing. I thought the same thing when I first saw the bill. Not having taken French, I didn't notice this. Spanish and French have similarities. Cinco or Cinq = 5. Report this Post to the Staff
