[QUOTE="hotwheelsearl, post: 3359843, member: 75143"]As far as I can tell, these are issued by a government-in-exile in Pennysylvania. The government escaped (to somewhere) and issued some Forint notes in the US. Problem was, these Forints were issued on incredibly thin tissue-like paper, and were never actually issued for any sort of circulation. Mainly there to make a statement, I guess. These were all signed on the right side, but most were not signed or dated on the left side. I am fortunate enough to own an example of 2 Forint that was hand-signed and hand-dated on the left. Makes you think that they almost wanted to circulate them...[/QUOTE]
