Thanks to all for the nice welcome! Krispy clued me into this post which I obviously missed. Where's that embarrassed emoticon?
Just search for "souvenir card" in quotes and don't limit the category. Or if you just want currency cards, search in Coins and Paper Money.
I really like those shield cards and I've got the green one, too. They printed 2,500 of this one. They were also issued in brown (2,365) and blue...
Just resent -- tell me if you don't receive anything.
Maybe I sent it to the wrong krispy. :) I will resend to both of you.
I'm hoping you might let me play again. I fell off the planet for a little while, but I fought my way back. I PM'ed Krispy with my essay.
Okay, time for something new and different...or old and different. This would qualify as a forerunner card, I picked it up about 10 years ago. It...
Yeah, how often can you find an Educational note for under $10? ;-)
Yeah, it's like they're just raiding their vault for vaguely theme-related vignettes. The quality of the engravings is usually top-notch, but they...
Not that I've noticed -- prices have remained stable for five years or more. The newer "specimen" cards are actually more expensive because the...
I just priced these on eBay and you can find them for 3 or 4 (U.S.) dollars. Of course, with the rate of inflation, they'll be down to a buck by...
Ahhh, that one is a beauty. The BEP used this same note on a souvenir card for the 2004 ANA show in Portland -- except that now the Secret Service...
I like that lottery ticket -- is it intaglio?
Alright, I'll bite. There are not enough obsolete notes posted on this thread, so I'll add one. I'm quite partial to the eagle on this note, plus...
Thanks for posting that cross reference to the tickets thread, Krispy. I'd forgotten about it and was inspired to add another image. I think...
I can't remember if I posted this one or not. But, if I have, oh well... It's a 1901 ticket from the Pan American Expo in Buffalo, NY. Printed by...
Thanks Darryl! I, too, am grateful for this thread and the opportunity to share knowledge about these cards. (Thanks to you as well, Krispy.) I...
There are a lot of nice concepts here. I could actually see combining some of the images with different slogans. Maybe we should have a slogan...
For anyone still tracking this thread, there's a nice 1856 Ilion Bank check on eBay right now, similar to the one I posted earlier. I'll bet it...
What an interesting thread! I just now stumbled upon it. I haven't seen many foreign notes and the ones from Thailand and France are stunning.
