Jazinta Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Oakland County Bank $1 from 1844. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 This note was printed in London for the Maryland colony in 1733, it is an unissued remainder from a series that was issued through on original forms until 1754. Subsequent notes were printed in the colony. Arms of colony on a vignette. The indenture cut section, these notes in sheets were bound in a book form - when issued they were sliced out in a curved pattern and numbered. When the note was redeemed it was matched with the numbered indentured cut section in the book as a means of positive identification. I very briefly owned a note that is several hundred years older, from China. But it was appropriated by Her Majesty for Her collection and I will have to inquire of Her as to whether I can display Her ancient note.

Scottishmoney Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Her Majesty, after much delay, finally gave me permission to post the image of her note that I imaged back in 2009: This is a 1 Kuan or 1000 Cash note from ca. 1368-1399 - these were purportedly found under a statue in Beijing in 1936.

Jazinta Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Wow, this really is the first paper money of all time. How could you get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 There are approximately 100 or so known examples of these notes, but they were printed in far larger numbers back then. The story goes that they were found under a statue in 1936 and were sold to the crowds of foreigners milling around - so the great majority of them went to Europe or America. I very briefly owned this example before it was requisitioned to a certain VIP's personal collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottishmoney Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Why? Is it illegal to have it? No, it was just that She wanted it for Her personal collection of Asian treasures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
