gregory New Member Belgium 3 Posts	Posted 07/03/2007 08:38 am hi, today I was organizing my coinscollection while I found this note. There's nothing printed on the back. Could someone tell me some more about this note? Thanks. Edited by gregory 07/03/2007 08:39 am Report this Post to the Staff

scoutjim99 Pillar of the Community United States 4589 Posts	Posted 07/03/2007 10:30 am Hello welcome to the forum, I can not tell for sure but I believe it a copy or even a fantasy piece. It is an old copy though. now you have to have the word "copy" printed on the notes. it appears to have the yellow parchment looking paper Report this Post to the Staff
gregory New Member Belgium 3 Posts	Posted 07/03/2007 10:32 am It certainly feels parchment-like. Report this Post to the Staff

san_miguel98 New Member United States 31 Posts	Posted 07/03/2007 10:58 am Unfortunately, your note a modern reproduction printed on antiqued parchment. The differences are too numerous to point out individually, but here's a genuine $1.00 with similar features to compare to your $3.00 note above. So far, every parchment note I've seen looks photocopied and lacking in details. In the image below, pay close attention to the decorative areas around the corner numbers and the ink used for the signatures, date, and serial number. Welcome to the forum!

Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 07/05/2007 10:01 am I checked my currency book for issues from the Bull's Head Bank in New York City and there weren't any. I then started looking on the internet and I found a list of modern copies. Sorry your note wasn't genuine. NEW YORK Bulls Head Bank (new York City); $3; Aug. 10 , 1864 / 4042 City Trust & Banking Co.; $2,000,000; Dec 21, 1839 / 5509 Clinton Bank; $100; Dec. 2, 1839 / 9 Corporation of the City of Albany; 10 cents; Jul. 17, 1862 / 676 Genessee County Bank; $52.12; May 5, 1865 / 16896 Sherman & Barnec (Buffalo); 25 cents; Jul. 11, 1862 / no # Report this Post to the Staff
magusxxx Valued Member United States 306 Posts	Posted 07/05/2007 12:59 pm If I remember correctly, during the 1970's there was a product you could get those in. I seem to remember my mother giving me something like that when I was young. UPDATE: I asked my mother and she said these bills came in loaves of bread around 1976 as promotions for the bicentenial. She couldn't remember which brand. Edited by magusxxx 07/07/2007 6:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff
