This is from the zombie bank era of this bank, it closed in the 1840&#039;s and then reopened in 1854, only to fail again that year.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most folks have never heard of Milledgeville, but if you collect early obsoletes, it is positively everywhere on Georgia notes, and all the State of Georgia Confederate era notes. Turns out it was the capital of Georgia during the civil war and the decades preceding, before Atlanta was... bet you didn&#039;t know that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh and it was also the home of Julia Roberts character in Pretty Woman. Bet you didn&#039;t know that either. She has all this Confederate money and nobody will help her...</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i352/MEC2DFW/Currency/Obsoletes/MilledgevilleFive.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
