wd1040 Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 03/09/2009 02:58 am Yeah..... I knew it was going to be this know when I read the title. Unfortunately, it's a copy (sr no 8894). Nevertheless, this could be considered the first national money issued by the Bank of US, spearheaded by the federalists and Alex Hamilton in order to print money and finance the growing economy. This bank survived and even was passed a second time (the 2nd Bank of the US) until it was killed by Jackson due to the specie crisis that ensued because of too much paper money. Anyways, this was backed by bonds of the US, not specie (I don't think at that time of the BoUS) Here's something about the note: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/coin-colle...tion-47.html And here's wiki about the BoUS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_...nited_States And oh right, to the forums! It's a bit late, but I still answered your question in under 10 minutes! Edited by wd1040 03/09/2009 03:00 am Report this Post to the Staff

(At least some old circulating silvers!) Soo I guess the question is now... DO you have anything else? Post 'em here! Report this Post to the Staff
