[QUOTE="dreamer94, post: 245839, member: 6449"]There's a very good article in Coin World from May 21, 2007 on these notes. They are called "educational notes" because each of them had an "allegorical and educational" theme. The 3 different artists were winners of a competition. The picture on the $1 bill was entitled: "History Instructing Youth" The picture on the $2 bill was entitled: "Presenting Steam and Electricity to Commerce and Manufacture" The picture on the $5 bill was entitled "Electricity Presenting Light to the World" and was scandalous because it depicted bare-breasted women. I've scanned images from the article, but unfortunately, they were in black-and-white and printed on newsprint, so the quality is not great. You can appreciate what amazing works of art they are.[/QUOTE]
