<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2333714, member: 69760&quot;]How about anything like this, where &quot;CHICAGO&quot; is stated prominently?</p><p><br /></p><p>Is one of those banks more &quot;historically&quot; special? I see the one below is from Douglass National Bank, and I&#039;m sure there are others. I&#039;m wondering if one of those banks somehow has a stronger rooted history to the city? For example, maybe it morphed into the only national bank of Chicago before the FRB of Chicago became exclusive.</p><p><br /></p><p>Or, maybe the signatures are of a prominent historical figure.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pic from the &#039;net.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.hjbltd.com/common/images.asp?InventoryGroup=ap&amp;InventoryGroupImageDirectory=uscurrency&amp;imagename=ap16486a&amp;imagescale=100&amp;imagefolder=/myhjb/images/no_aqimage.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT: Now that I think about it some more, a $5 note with Abe Lincoln and &quot;Chicago&quot; written out would be nice. I&#039;ll look for that - maybe the one issued by the Chicago FRB, like this 1918 design below. I&#039;ll probably choose a 20th century year that&#039;s significant to Chicago, or choose a WWI or WWII series year.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.chicagofed.org/~/media/images/publications/annual-report/2013/c4-jpg.jpg?la=en" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
