<p>[QUOTE="gsalexan, post: 1187042, member: 24274"]These notes pre-date the inflationary era, but since this is the only Hungary-related post I've seen in the paper money section I think I'll add them here. These were printed during the Hungarian revolution, circa 1849, with the printed signature of short-time president-regent Lajos Kossuth. These were engraved and printed by Toppan, Carpenter, Casilear & Co, a predecessor to American Bank Note. I don't know the financial history surrounding them (I'm not sure they were ever issued), but I believe there was a large unissued hoard that came on the market in the 1980s. I remember buying them fairly inexpensively. You still see them now and then on eBay. I collected them for the beautiful vignettes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
