My dad worked out of town for sometimes months at a time, I can remember as a child, going to the bank with my mom to deposit my dad's check, and to take care of other business. Once when we went to the president's office, I spyed his collection of large currency that was displayed on the wall. He told me that they belonged to his grandfather who started the bank. They were extremely fancy to a child, but as I grew older and stared my own family, I would go back there on many occasions and admire those same notes, but in a different light. I have collected coins off and on most of my life, but have always loved paper currency. Except for the small size silver certificates that I occasionally pulled from circulation, I never really saw any other old notes except those at the bank. I have collected and added several large notes to my collection in recent years, and have always had the desire to have at least one note from my state. I don't know if they are very scarce or if no one ever puts them on the market, but I personally have seen very few. I bought a note on ebay about a year ago that was pretty tattered, but I wanted it, and it was the first one that I had seen come up. Well yesterday I was lucky enough to add 3 to the lone one, and am quite proud of them even if no one else can be. Please post your notes from the state that you call your's..
my home state, Vermont.. Didn't produce currency..other then checks..promissory notes ..coins I have..
Of course they did , unfortunately, I don't have any in my collection. The colonial notes are very rare and quite expensive. There are several obsolete notes as well as "other" notes issued in Vermont:
I am also from upstate New York. Part of my collection is Obsolete bank notes and merchant scrip from Albany and Troy. Here is a Troy NY note that also covers Vermont. Rich
