BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19972 Posts	Posted 10/02/2010 01:02 am My aunt found this letter while cleaning out some boxes. I found it quite interesting and I'm not sure if it's even legit. The envelope is dated 1972, a pretty cool hand-typed letter....even if it was a scam. Can anyone tell me anything about this stuff? It was all stuffed into this envelope. The USA check thingy seems counterfeit to me. Is any of this stuff worth anything or is it all just novelty? Lincoln Cent Lover!

wd1040 Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 10/02/2010 01:19 am haha, the notorious 8894 Bank of US One Thousand Dollar note! That one has been faked out of existence, and is usually found in a lot of historical site shops. However, the 100 baht does have face value (it's still in circulation.) The two Paraguay notes, although certainly old, aren't that rare. The 5 Peso note is worth around $3 and the 100 peso around $20, because these were also a part of the series (like so many others) where the government just decided to start running the presses in order to fund purchases. Thus, there's quite a few out there. haha In reading the letter, it seems like a scam, eh? Either send $2 or send the notes back. Well interestingly enough, in US consumer law, if you get sent something unsolicited, you have no obligation to send anything back! Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16868 Posts	Posted 10/02/2010 01:42 am The Bank of the United States banknote is a replica, as you suspected; according to this website the original of $1000 No. 8894 is in the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco's collection, and the uniface replicas of it were cereal-box giveaways form the 1960s. The Thailand 100 baht note is modern; the 2004 series, still in use there. 100 baht = US$3.30 at the moment. The Paraguay 5 pesos dates from the period 1907-1920. I don't have a modern catalogue that lists it, but in my 1986 edition of Pick it's listed at $2 in Unc. The Paraguay 100 pesos dates from the period 1907-1923. Back in 1986 it listed at $5 in Unc. A buck apiece for those last two was probably a fair enough price back in 1972. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
