Just have to share horse on dollar note

My husband brought this home. I was rather amused by it. Thought I would share.

Interesting. Looks like it was stamped twice

 

I noticed that too.

 

I used to stamp my www.wheresGeorge.com bills with a Bart Simpson rubber stamp in purple ink to let others know that I have had that bill. I have not see 1 in a very long time.

 

I kind of think the horse is pretty

 

there are many currency collectors that probably want to kill me for doing that ? the ones I do it to are in so-so condition anyhow and do not have stars or fancy serial numbers on them.

 

Yeah, probably. Lol.

 

Some years ago, one of those passed through my hands.

 

Horses being the second most popular form of transport in the 19th century, after walking of course - they were oft featured on banknotes like this one from Argentina:



Whilst the other vignettes of the lady and the gentleman on the note are stock images also used on many other N. American and S. American notes printed by ABNCo, the center vignette is unique to this note - a slaughterhouse:



Dogs, horses and gauchos with dead bovines and vultures make for a wee bit of a macabre setting for a banknote.

 

Nice read!

 

Maybe someone was celebrating the bronco's loss last night. Just maybe!!

 

And the reason they chose the Horse as the mascot for the Teamsters Union??? Because it's the only animal that sleeps standing up...
