<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RickieB, post: 336827, member: 2486&quot;]Hello Everyone...</p><p>I know my starter post sounds as though I was dissapointed, perhaps in a small way.</p><p>I can say that the effort that was given by those who did participate was outstanding. Heck, I think we have even enlisted a few more Paper Money collectors which was the whole Idea anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please do not feel as though you need to apoligize, it is not required, however, I appreciate the remarks.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think most of you who worked on this have a new&nbsp; insight on Paper Money as a collectable and a new appreciation of what the histroy of Paper Money has bestowed upon our Country.</p><p>I chose the&nbsp; Civil War Era as I find it most interesting and the fact the last two books I have read recently were on Abraham Lincoln, the Assination, the Manhunt, the trials and punishments and Reconstruction.</p><p><br /></p><p>Deep stuff...very deep stuff. I wish I had paid closer attention when I was&nbsp; a kid in school!</p><p><br /></p><p>I have enjoyed putting this together and the effort was minimal...it was devised and composed in 2 days and I just wanted to kick it off on my Birthday, and cover a three day period where notes were issued and Presidents honored. It was really a Presidents Day Contest for Abarham Lincoln. The only thing aboutthe prizes was I could not part with any of my $5 Lincolon notes..LOL therefore the Cleveland note and silver certs!</p><p>Some of the notes of the 4th issue fractional currency&nbsp; actually ended on Feb 15, 1876 and one of them&nbsp; the 4th issue 10 cent note was issued July 14, 1869 and ended Feb 16, 1875.</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: Red">Fractional currency is the only currency of the 19th century&nbsp; which remains still a Legal Currency and have never been demonetized!</span></p><p>Regards to all...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>RickieB[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
