goldback New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 02/20/2014 8:29 pm Can anyone tell me anything about a bill like this? It has been in my family for a long time. I believe my grandfather found it sometime during WW2. It is in very rough condition. Maybe just altered? Bleached? I've searched the net and never found anything similar. http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/...842a5a27.jpg http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/...dc40c429.jpg Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

denco7 Pillar of the Community United States 2543 Posts	Posted 02/20/2014 9:25 pm Looks like an old yellow seal North Africa bill. During the war, U.S currency was printed with different colored seals and in the case of Hawaii bills, over printed with a big HAWAII on the back. If a large shipment of money used to the pay and supply the allied troops in North Africa, wa ever to fall into enemy hands, all bills with yellow seals would immediately be demonitized and rendered useless to the AXIS powers. The reverse of the bill looks like it is just some sort of chemical damage from storage. Unfortunately in this condition it is not worth much.

BisonMatt Valued Member United States 239 Posts	Posted 02/21/2014 09:57 am With that serial number, this note is a regular Silver Certificate and note a North Africa or Hawaii emergency issue note. http://www.uspapermoney.info/serials/all___s.html The front and back have been exposed to a chemical that changed the ink into that yellowish color, not sure what though Report this Post to the Staff
denco7 Pillar of the Community United States 2543 Posts	Posted 02/21/2014 10:21 am Don't think that I have ever seen a yellow seal that was not a North Africa. Your saying what ever turned the back yellow, turned the blue seal yellow ? Nice pick up Matt Report this Post to the Staff
lettow Pillar of the Community United States 742 Posts	Posted 02/21/2014 11:10 am As BisonMatt said, this is a chemical alteration or run through the laundry too many times. The Oceania One Pound note in the picture looks to be one of the Australian counterfeits. Can we have a picture of the full face on that one? Report this Post to the Staff
