<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MEC2, post: 2184037, member: 38692&quot;]Today&#039;s new pickup is one of my favorite world specialty areas of collecting, the old private banks of Costa Rica. Great notes with amazing designs, and this 1901 20 Colones note from the Banco de Costa Rica does not disappoint. Vivid red front and detailed back, I love the turn of the 20th century notes from here. The front features the first armed FTD delivery man... I kid of course, it&#039;s actually a memorial with an interesting story, a drummer in the army who volunteered to try to set fire to a defensive redoubt, killed doing so but successful in setting the blaze that led to the Costa Rican victory. Happy Juan Santamaria day!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i352/MEC2DFW/Currency/Costa%20Rica/BCR20ColonesF.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i352/MEC2DFW/Currency/Costa%20Rica/BCR20ColonesB.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
