c300g: same thing happened to me, an old aunt gave me what I thought was a confederate bill from the civil war, turned out it came from a box of Corn Flakes.

These note have been HEAVILY counterfeited (if that's a word)...

Goes all the way back to the days of the civil war... but then they would make only slight adjustments... the civil war like it or not was more about economics than anything else.... and nothing kills an economy more than one group or organization pumping in a whole lot of "fake" currency into an economy and then later refusing payment and destrying the currency once it has circulated because it was counterfiet... (a tactic used in many wars)
