<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 2679353, member: 24274&quot;]The scanner and I spent some quality time this weekend!</p><p><br /></p><p>I started looking into the connections between foreign currency and the vignettes on my stocks and bonds. From the 1870s through the 1950s, American Bank Note Co. produced a great many banknotes for countries in Central and South America. Not surprisingly, their designs pulled from the same stock of engravings used for other ABNC products. Here are a batch of new matches. Although the banknotes are not owned by me, I am now seriously looking at expanding my collection in this area.</p><p><br /></p><p>The angels on this 1938 Columbian gold peso note appear on two stocks, United Stores Corp. and Chicago &amp; North Western Railway. The vignette on the railroad stock is about 15 percent smaller and I&#039;m guessing this is size aligns to the angels on the Columbian note.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]598602[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]598603[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]598604[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]598606[/ATTACH]&nbsp; </p><p>Brazil&#039;s Banco do Cafe put out an interest-bearing 100 reis note featuring a very popular vignette of two figures. I was surprised to discover this on four different stocks: Waldorf System Inc., United Retail Stores Corp., American International Corp., and Container Corp. of America. The CCA specimen stock certificate shows a reduced vignette and, again, I suspect this was the size used on the Banco do Cafe note.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]598607[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]598608[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]598609[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]598610[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]598616[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]598617[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
