The American Paper Money Collection with 36 unique proof banknotes printed from the original plates
Before the Federal Reserve was created, individual banks could issue their own currency. The result was hundreds of designs and considerable challenges in figuring out which notes were actually worth the stated amount. I’ve been interested in this history and in the designs, and found this collection of notes struck from the original plates.
This is a very affordable way to collect 36 different proofs. Printed on acid free paper from the original plates, the collection includes Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, South Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Vermont, Kentucky, Tennessee, District of Columbia, Ohio, Louisianan, Indiana, Mississippi, Illinois, Alabama, Maine, Missouri, Arkansas, Michigan, Florida, Texas, Iowa, Wisconsin, California, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska, and Montana.
