<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 700460, member: 12789&quot;]Daggar, the notes with printed reverses cost more to print of course.&nbsp; This being an era of a lot of different notes forgery was very common.&nbsp; A printed reverse was even more insurance against forgeries.</p><p><br /></p><p>But cost in printing is very important, there are economies of scale as a factor too, think of Canal Bank and how large it was, and how many notes that they printed - obviously from the huge number that remain today as remainders.&nbsp; Many of the remainders to not have printed reverses, whilst the later ones have the ubiquitous orange reverses.</p><p><br /></p><p>One of the fascinating aspects of the obsolete era is the different opinions on what constituted a note that was difficult to forge, and as a result there are some amazing notes with wonderfully intricate designs - all in the hopes of averting forgeries.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
