<p>[QUOTE="Numbers, post: 1444461, member: 11668"]The first-class postage rate at the time was 13c, so that probably explains why there are thirteen 1c stamps on the note. I guess somebody wanted to use the Jefferson stamp to match the Jefferson portrait on the note.... I'm not sure whether they actually needed thirteen of it, though; since the bill wasn't actually being mailed anywhere, I'd think the post office would've been just as happy to postmark it with 1c of postage.</p><p><br /></p><p>To the previous poster...it looks like the pictured note is Richmond district, not San Francisco.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
