Cuba Note in Puerto Rico - 1 Peso 1896

Hello eveyone,
This thread was created from the beautiful island of Puerto Rico.. Yes I am on vacation

I went to a shop in a mall that sell sports cards and memorabilia. They had a small section of coins and paper currency. They had a NGC attributed 1942/41 Mercury Dime but the price tag was $700.00

I purchased this neat UN PESO from Cuba

It's small

Great pictures paddy and a cool note!

Too bad Ron Popeil didn't make a pocket metal detector.....

 

For a very brief period after the US took possession of Puerto Rico some banknotes were issued very similar to US National Banknotes:



Here is a reverse proof from a note that was issued in 1909 by the Banco de Puerto Rico. Even these proofs are quite scarce now, but the issued notes were called in and destroyed by the early 1920s and very few examples still exist.

 

Like a magnet to the orchids, amigo. Great photo

 

Nice note. You don't see many that have little to no color.
Enjoy yourself basking in the sun.

 

Glad you and your wife are having a wonderful vacation. The weather looks great. Enjoy, you deserve it.

 

Enjoy the vacation and don't forget to taste some of the fine rum they make.
