I had some that where you could see the entire  note including  the  serial  numbers  on the block. As a child my father would take me to the bank.I wish I had a photo of me as a 5/6 y/o sitting on a SKID of 100,000.00 notes!The vault  of course  was timed to open and close. The door so huge that the floor in front of door had to be lowered to open and close the vault.You also had to wear a mask as the ink from the bills would burn your nose.Money bags were another fun item I had a mess of....as the armor trucks would pull into the rear of the bank onto a turn table. The entire truck  would be spun on the turn table  so the rear doors were facing the loading dock of the bank.This was done for security  reasons  as the truck didn't  have  to  turn around in the back alley. A perfect  target  for a robbery .Bags of coins unloaded on heavy duty carts rolled into cages. Where they would roll the coin to be fed out to member branch banks.The smaller  money bags my mom would use to replace worn out pockets in dad's trousers . Yeah we weren't  poor but my parents were of the depression  era. So nothing  was wasted ,if the pants had some wear left and pockets wore out a small money bag made perfect  replacement  pockets....and will also out lasted the trousers .[/QUOTE]
