netwrkguy New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 09/17/2022 11:26 am I have this checkbook-like thing of one dollar bills. It looks exactly like a checkbook, but instead of checks, there are $1 notes with consecutive serial #s. Does anyone know the backstory on these and if they are worth anything? (I have images just am unable to uoad as a new user? Not sure why tbh) Report this Post to the Staff

jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4692 Posts	Posted 09/17/2022 1:35 pm Back in the 1970s I made some of these. Just took a pack of bills and used rubber cement on the edge. Then colored the cemented edge with a magic marker. The things kids do. Report this Post to the Staff
netwrkguy New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 09/17/2022 2:01 pm So the 25 $1 notes I have in this "book" isn't anything special. Just a book of $1s then? Report this Post to the Staff

To help with the assessment, could you please add a pic or two of this "book"? It sound fascinating to me. Thx.

SteveInTampa Pillar of the Community United States 4637 Posts	Posted 09/17/2022 4:14 pm Welcome to CCF. Typically, these "scratchpads" didn't use special or fancy serial numbered notes, so the value is in the novelty, which is usually twice face. They're still available on ebay which is where I got this pack (20) of $2s. Report this Post to the Staff
datadragon Pillar of the Community United States 1648 Posts	Posted 09/17/2022 10:19 pm Some banks used to do this since the late 1970s so people could buy them and give them as cash gifts or xmas gifts and considered a novelty, and businesses as well who would use them for promotional things. They even engraved the person's name on the cover. They were like pads of paper glued (gummed) along the left side, or like a checkbook. The notes had sequential serial numbers. They go by the names of Peel and Spends and Scratch Pads. You can even find them with star notes This company sells them also currently in different denominations if you ask: https://moneypads.com/products.html https://currency.ha.com/itm/small-s...7082-21348.s (sold for $45 back in 2007) The Happy State Bank & Trust in Happy, TX sold "Texas Scratch Pads" in $25 and $50 denominations as well.
