<p>[QUOTE=&quot;saltysam-1, post: 2072236, member: 23368&quot;]Another obstacle to the merchants, farmers and employee&#039;s of an area is when a bank had their money stamped as counterfeit by another bank. It was said that competing banks close to state lines, did this regularly to discourage people from using the out of state bank from a near-by city. This was especially true with the farming community when the out of state bank was actually closer to them. Merchants from one out of state town wouldn&#039;t take the cash from the other bank because it would be returned to them. They would have to take it over to the other bank to get reimbursed. Then that bank would only give them their currency which caused an endless cycle of inconvenience and ill feelings, even between states.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
