A quick search of the forums turned up zero results for Courtesy Autographs. For anyone unfamiliar with the term:
Courtesy autographs are bills that carry a Secretary's and/or Treasurer's actual autograph along with their printed signature. See below for an example. In the 1950s and '60s, the courtesy autograph niche took off among notaphilists (paper money collectors), although there are examples from the '40s and even a handful from the '30s. In fact, all Treasurers and Secretaries of the Treasury since the 1950s have autographed bills (some more than others). Courtesy autographs are now a small but respectable subsection of the currency collecting hobby.
The example attached is shamelessly lifted from a website. I have four examples, my digital camera simply won't do the notes justice. Autopen signatures are always suspect on these notes.
2003A single sig Anna Cabral - Treasuer
1993 single sig Mary Ellen Withrow - Treasuer
1995 single sig Robert Rubin - Sect of Treasury
2001 double sig Rosario Marin - Treasurer
Paul O'Neill - Sect of Treasury
Marin sent a note in green sharpie that matches her bill.
Cabrals secretary sent a hand signed note confirming that The Treasuer signed.
Rubin for some reason enclosed his business card.
For the other sigs I have the returned envelope.
