<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 480947, member: 4626&quot;]Though it can be justifiably said that the root causes of the Panic of 1837 date back to Jackson&#039;s time... it actually occured during the presidency of Martin van Buren, not Andrew Jackson.</p><p><br /></p><p>There was a shortage of small coinage, but as far as I know it was mostly solved by the issuing of private metal tokens, known as &quot;Hard Times tokens.&quot;&nbsp; I&#039;m not aware that fractional currency was issued, by the US Government or anyone else, during this time (in fact the earliest paper money issued or sanctioned by the US Government, fractional or otherwise, wasn&#039;t issued until 1861).</p><p><br /></p><p>So nobody will have the notes you described, as they don&#039;t exist!&nbsp; You can probably find people who have some Hard Times tokens though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
