<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 428776, member: 5233&quot;]OK, I really like these old brown sealed notes...but I was hoping someone can clear something up for me.&nbsp; Now, I have seen notes that were issued from state banks such as this note issued from the National Bank of Portland Oregon (I found this image online...it&#039;s not my note sadly):</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/RichieB16/10NationalCurrency-1929Series-Brown.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>But, I also have seen similar looking notes that were issued from the Federal Reserve Banks such as this one (I borrowed this picture from RickieB&#039;s collection without permission...I hope he doesn&#039;t mind).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/RichieB16/921395A.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Are these notes the same type of note.&nbsp; By, that I mean did the same legislation create both?&nbsp; If so, why did state banks issue their own notes when the federal banks were also doing so.&nbsp; Also, is that Oregon note legal tender elsewhere...such as in Washington (and if so, was it when it was new)?</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, I have read that the state notes have 2 types...do the FRB National notes have 2 types as well?</p><p><br /></p><p>I know that was a lot, but I really like these notes and I would like to learn as much as I can about them!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
