The three denominations, $1, $5 and $10, is all they printed with yellow seals. A $20 NA note does not exist.

 

Good , cuz I thought I was going crazy , or maybe I am?

 

whew thanks, I prolly looked that up years ago. Still taking pictures with my "new toy" and noticed "wow I have no $20.00"

 

What about the $2.00?

 

What does your thread title mean?

 

Much older. Nice bill. What other dates are there?

 

Holey CRAP!! Thank you didn't know that was even there! back to the drawing board.. gotta have it now.

 

Rare $2 NA...

 

During WW2 As US forces was chasing Nazi's around Africa Our forces didn't want counterfeit Nazi made U.S. currency flooding the market down there so the U.S. printed these just for use in African campaign.

 

Smart thinking...

 

I have a Ten that I paid $24.50 for 20 years ago ......

 

I smell a rat ... no wait - I smell bleach even from here- yuck.

 

This bill wasn't chemically altered like this 1963 five was it? yes I have this $5.00

 

yeah I fell for that for about five minutes then pulled a few books out..no $2.00 mentioned on North African note. got me for a little while though.

 

Nice Bills

 

Yellow seals were not for counterfeit protection. They were made so they could be invalidated if large numbers were captured by the enemy. They were only used in the initial stages of the invasion of North Africa and Italy until sufficient supplies of local currency was obtained in NA and until AMC lire arrived in theater in Italy.

 

Thank you for the correction
